Dr. Paul Szypryt is a research physicist at NIST who has made significant contributions to quantum sensing and measurement technologies. Early in his career, he developed advanced x-ray instrumentation using transition-edge sensor (TES) technology for various research applications, including quantum electrodynamics, laboratory astrophysics, and high-temperature superconductivity.
More recently, Szypryt has focused on developing novel superconducting resonator technologies for precision measurements. His work includes the development of thermal kinetic inductance detectors (TKIDs) for charged particle detection and kinetic inductance current sensors for TES readout. These technologies have potential applications in nuclear physics, quantum information science, and exoplanet atmosphere spectroscopy.
Szypryt’s contributions to quantum sensing and measurement technologies have been recognized through awards such as the NASA Nancy Grace Roman Technology Fellowship in 2022. His work at NIST has helped advance the field of quantum sensing and measurement, with potential applications in various scientific and technological domains.
