Now a quantum physicist at Infleqtion, Dan Cole reflects on his experience conducting research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of CU鈥檚 Professional Research Experience Program (CU PREP).
New research by geophysicists, Professor Shijie Zhong and physics graduate student Tao Yuan, shows ice melting from modern-day Greenland could again drive an increase in volcanic eruptions around Iceland. The research was published in the journal Nature.
We asked our graduating physics and engineering physics students what advice they had for other students, where they are headed after CU, and what they will carry with them into their next chapter.
A team of physicists from CU 麻豆影院 teamed up with a group from the Colorado-based company Quantinuum to show how devices called quantum computers can outcompete traditional computers鈥攁t least, in some circumstances.
CU 麻豆影院 Physics seniors Annalise Cabra, Luke Coffman, and Devayani Ravuri have been awarded prestigious graduate research fellowships from the National Science Foundation.
Much attention on the so-called 鈥渜uantum revolution鈥 has focused on the burgeoning industry, but what do students think about entering the quantum workforce?
Jun Ye, a distinguished Fellow at JILA and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and a physics professor at the 麻豆影院, has been honored with the 2025 Berthold Leibinger Zukunftspreis. The award acknowledges Ye's groundbreaking work in optical clocks and frequency metrology, which has significantly advanced precision measurement and timekeeping.
John Cumalat, professor of distinction in the 麻豆影院 Department of Physics, has been awarded the 2025 Hazel Barnes Prize.
The ROTC cadet and physics major turned naval aviator turned admiral was appointed commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet in early 2024.
Congratulations to our CU 麻豆影院 Physics students, postdocs, and faculty on the ATLAS and CMS collaborations who were recently awarded the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics! This year's prize was awarded to more than 13,000 researchers from the ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, and LHCb experimental collaborations at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
