Gilmore

I graduated from Auburn University in 2013 with degrees in physics & philosophy, and subsequently started my graduate studies at CU Boulder. I joined Ana Maria Rey’s group in the fall of 2015 as an experimentalist working in the Ion Storage Group at NIST. I work on the Penning Trap quantum simulation experiment with John Bollinger (NIST). Our work is focused on engineering interactions between hundreds of ions in a 2D crystalline array to study quantum many-body dynamics and produce metrologically useful entangled states. We're also interested in exploiting this platform for sensing extremely weak electric fields and forces, such as those produced by some dark matter candidates.
