For pioneering breakthroughs in the nascent field of quantum optomechanics that are providing the practical means to preserve and transfer information across the components of future quantum computing devices
For his breakthrough research in the field of quantum information science for over a decade, enabled by his invention of record-breaking photon detectors.
For being the first in nearly 50 years of attempts to achieve a loophole-free test of Bell’s theorem, confirming the predictions of quantum mechanics. Nearly 20 NIST employees and associates from PML and ITL contributed to this achievement.
For demonstrating a novel all-magnetic alternative to medical imaging through developing a class of nanoscale radio-frequency probes for diagnostics and treatment.
