ITAMP Fellow Nicole Yunger Halpern and colleagues publish quantum-metrology paper in Nature Communications
Researchers including ITAMP Fellow Nicole Yunger Halpern recently proved that quantum physics can enhance metrology, if a simple extra measurement is performed during an experiment. The proof technique hinges on mathematical objects that resemble probabilities but that can assume negative values when describing quantum systems. The result was published in Nature Communications and featured in a news article by the University of Cambridge:

Summer fellowships for students and faculty from under-represented academic institutions
ITAMP has a funded program of summer fellowships for students and faculty from under-represented academic institutions. We will double our effort in the coming year to recruit more students and faculty advisors from HBCU and other minority-serving colleges.

Quantum Steampunk
ITAMP Fellow Nicole Yunger Halpern published a feature about her research in Scientific American this May. Yunger Halpern and colleagues re-envision 19th-century thermodynamics with 21st-century information theory. They use the combination as a new lens through which to view atomic, molecular, and optical physics; chemistry; condensed matter; high-energy physics; and biophysics. Yunger Halpern has dubbed this research program "quantum steampunk," after the steampunk movement that blends Victorian settings with futuristic technologies in art, film, and literature. The article has gained press in Popular Mechanics, Nature, the Fortune "Data Sheet" (April 22, 2020), and Wikipedia.
