Description:

The Time and Frequency Division maintains the standard for frequency and time interval for the United States, provides official time to the United States, and carries out a broad program of research and service activities in time and frequency metrology. Taking another step toward strengthening the nation’s critical infrastructure, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has drafted guidelines Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used state-of-the-art atomic clocks, advanced light detectors, and a measurement Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have boosted their control of the fundamental properties of molecules at the quantum A small role can make an astronomical impact, as is the case for a tiny NIST-built piece of a new planet-hunting project from NASA and the National Science Accurate navigation requires precision timing synchronization to about 1 billionth of a second per day. New applications require timing mechanisms that can The cooling of atoms to microkelvin temperatures using lasers is currently enabling a new generation of precision instruments that take advantage of the long We use femtosecond-laser frequency combs to generate optical and microwave waveforms with unprecedented noise performance. With micro-resonators (fabricated in house or by collaborators) we are developing microcombs, integrated reference cavities and low-noise laser sources. The We develop self-referenced mode-locked femtosecond lasers that function as the "gears" of optical clocks. The femtosecond laser clockwork is capable of phase To honor exceptional research accomplishments by a young scientist in the interdisciplinary area of precision measurement and fundamental...

Established by the Washington, DC Downtown Jaycees in 1948, the Flemming Awards honor outstanding federal employees with 3-15 years of... This award may be used to recognize associates or previous staff members who have made outstanding contributions to the PML mission. 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics to Dave Wineland of NIST Time and Frequency DivisionDave Wineland, of the Ion Storage Group, shares the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics with Serge Haroche of France "for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems." Dave and his colleagues use these techniques for research in quantum information processing, quantum simulation, atomic clocks, and other areas.More information about the Ion Storage Group can be found here.For more information about the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics, please see the Nobel Prize organization site.
