Dileep Reddy, a senior research associate with ĢӰ PREP, is a co-lead on ASPEN-Net along with Professor Juliet Gopinath and NIST Physicist Krister Shalm. The team is working to build a scalable quantum platform capable of distributing networks at high rates across large distances.
Congratulations to our Spring and Summer 2026 Graduates: Grant Giesbrecht, Tate McDonald, Benjamin Scheck, Philip Kent, Yifan Liu, Benton Miller and John Pitten
Nine ĢӰ PREP research faculty have been honored with Department of Physics Awards for Outstanding Research and Service, recognizing their exceptional scientific achievements and their meaningful service to our community.
Physicists from NIST, including ĢӰ PREP researchers, used laser-based techniques to employ a “helper” calcium atom and control a calcium hydride molecule nearly perfectly. Their results were recently published in Physical Review Letters. The team includes ĢӰ PREP researcher and graduate student April Sheffield and former ĢӰ PREP researcher Dalton Chaffee.
What time is it on Mars? Physicists Neil Ashby and Bijunath Patla have calculated a precise answer for the first time, and their results were recently published in The Astronomical Journal. Ashby, professor emeritus of physics and physicist at NIST, formerly administered the ĢӰ Professional Research Experience Program, connecting students and postdoctoral scholars with researchers at NIST. Patla was previously a ĢӰ PREP researcher and is now a NIST Physicist in the Time Realization and Distribution Group.
Congratulations to our Summer 2025 ĢӰ PREP Graduates: Marco Pomponio and Zixuan Wang
ĢӰ PREP Senior Research Fellow Ryan Snodgrass has been awarded the 2025 William E. Gifford Award from the Cryogenic Society of America for his outstanding contributions to the field of cryogenics.
A team including ĢӰ PREP researchers and scientists from ĢӰ Boulder and NIST have built the first random number generator using quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers. The group includes ĢӰ PREP researchers Gautam Kavuri, Jasper Palfree, Dileep Reddy, and Michael Mazurek, and PREP Program Manager Paul Beale.
Former ĢӰ PREP researchers Vladislav Gerginov, Greg Hoth (PhDPhys'16) and Jeff Sherman are part of the NIST team that recently established NIST's new atomic fountain clock, NIST-F4.
Former ĢӰ PREP researcher Krister Shalm shares how quantum and dance are related through creativity and precision in NIST's Taking Measure blog "Quantum and Dance: It Takes 2 to Entangle." Shalm is now a physicist at NIST.
