Dr. Marty Stevens is a leading researcher at NIST-Boulder, focusing on quantum technologies. His work involves developing advanced single-photon sources and detectors, particularly superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). These devices are crucial for various quantum experiments, from fundamental physics tests to practical applications like improved microscopy.
Stevens has been instrumental in implementing these quantum technologies in real-world experiments. His optical measurement techniques have significantly advanced our understanding of how SNSPDs operate. He also played a key role in NIST’s groundbreaking 2015 loophole-free test of Bell’s inequality, demonstrating the quantum nature of reality. Additionally, Stevens has explored the potential of entangled-photon pairs to enhance multiphoton microscopy, opening new possibilities in medical imaging and materials science.
