Biography

Dr. Jamison's group uses lasers to cool atoms to billionths of a degree above absolute zero, creating some of the coldest systems known in the universe. These temperatures allow atoms to mimic intriguing quantum systems critical to condensed matter, nuclear, and high-energy particle physics. The research leverages light to drive chemical reactions and form molecules at similarly low temperatures. Ultracold molecules serve as significant resources for studying quantum chemistry and quantum information.
