Four scientists from NIST’s Physical Measurement Laboratory have recently received prestigious awards and honors for their groundbreaking work in quantum measurement and standards. Samuel Benz was awarded the IEEE’s Joseph F. Keithley Award for his contributions to quantum-based superconducting voltage standards. Gretchen Campbell won the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics’ Young Scientist Prize for her work on toroidal Bose-Einstein condensates and atomtronic circuits. David Hendricks was recognized for his exceptional contributions to vacuum science and developing new vacuum standards. Glenn Solomon received a Fulbright fellowship to conduct joint research with the University of Innsbruck on quantum dots and quantum information science.
These awards highlight NIST’s leadership in developing quantum measurement standards and advancing quantum technologies. The research collaborations between NIST and the University of Innsbruck demonstrate the importance of international partnerships in advancing quantum science and technology.
