Ms. Goldstein smiling at the camera in front of a black background.Join us for a presentation by Barbara Goldstein, Associate Director, Physical Measurement Laboratory & Program Manager, NIST on a Chip. The first quantum revolution spurred economic growth over much of the last century through inventions such as transistors, lasers, and atomic clocks. The second quantum revolution is characterized by a new level of control and manipulation at the atomic scale and is ushering in a new generation of technologies built on the more esoteric quantum properties of nature such as entanglement and superposition. Bringing these new technologies out of the lab and into the market requires a new foundation of metrology and standards. Ms. Goldstein will discuss how the international quantum community is working together to lay this foundation, and how NIST is contributing through programs such as NIST on a Chip which is developing a suite of intrinsically accurate, fit-for-function quantum-based sensors and standards.

About Ms. Goldstein: Ms. Barbara Goldstein serves as Associate Director of the Physical Measurement Laboratory, the largest operational unit at NIST consisting of approximately 1300 staff and associates and two joint institutes, and which is responsible for realizing and disseminating rigorous measurements to support commercial, defense and research enterprises. Ms. Goldstein manages the “NIST on a Chip” program which is establishing a new paradigm for precision measurement dissemination through a suite of deployable, fit-for-purpose, quantum-based standards to be embedded in products or installed at user sites.
