Daniel Slichter is a staff physicist at NIST Boulder’s Ion Storage Group, focusing on quantum information experiments with trapped atomic ions. His research aims to develop scalable trapped ion quantum computing paradigms and perform high-fidelity quantum state control and measurement.
Recent projects include:
– Achieving high-fidelity two-ion entanglement using microwave and rf fields instead of lasers
– Utilizing strong unitary squeezing of ion motion to enhance interactions and perform electric field sensing below the standard quantum limit
– Integrating superconducting photon detectors into microfabricated ion traps as a step towards building a fully chip-integrated quantum processor
Slichter’s previous work involved superconducting quantum information, including continuous high-fidelity qubit measurement and quantum feedback studies. The group consists of an international team of staff scientists, postdocs, and graduate students, always seeking bright, motivated individuals to join.
