Dr. Andrew Wilson is a leading figure in the development of quantum technologies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). As Chief of the NIST Quantum Physics Division and lead for the quantum information science program, he is responsible for advancing quantum technologies with potential for significant economic and scientific impact.
Wilson’s research focuses on trapped ions and their applications in quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum-enhanced precision measurement. His work aims to develop the techniques and tools necessary for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum information processors. Prior to his work with trapped ions, Wilson conducted research on Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum degenerate Fermi gases, and precision laser spectroscopy of neutral atoms and molecules.
Wilson is also actively involved in interagency activities to support the US government’s efforts in quantum information science and technology. He represents NIST on the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) Steering Committee, working to enable and grow the US quantum industry.
