I'm interested in nonlinear optics, atom optics and optical precision measurements. In nonlinear optics, I study photorefractive systems for measurement and information processing, especially self-organized information processing. Our group is currently investigating acoustic and RF antenna-array signal processing and sensing of chemical vapors. Atom-optics research centers on the development of atom waveguides, atom "chip" technology, and the use of Bose-Einstein condensates to make practical devices. The group is currently developing integrated atom interferometers for inertial navigation and other sensing applications.

My research interests are related to the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of ultrafast processes in atoms, molecules and clusters interacting with intense laser pulses. Laser systems currently generate light pulses with field strengths exceeding that of the Coulomb field within an atom or molecule. Pulse durations are as short as a few femtoseconds (10-15 sec) or even less in the attosecond regime, which correspond to the time scales of electron and nuclear dynamics in materials. My group pursues theoretical studies on the coherent control of chemical reactions, the observation of correlated electron dynamics in atoms and molecules, the imaging of molecular dynamics, and the propagation of ultrashort intense laser pulses. We often work in close collaboration with experimental groups.

bohn@murphy.colorado.edu (303) 492-5426

Research Areas: Atomic & Molecular Physics
My primary research centers on the theory of collisions between trapped atoms and molecules in a dilute gas at milliKelvin temperatures and below. In this novel energy regime, tiny energy splittings (due, for instance, to magnetic interactions or molecular rotations) dominate the collision dynamics. My goal is to unravel these delicate energy exchanges and assess their response to external electromagnetic fields. More broadly, I'm looking for novel approaches to understanding collective motions of many-body quantum-mechanical systems such as electrons in an atom or semiconductor device or atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate.

My research interests center around the behavior of extremely cold atomic gases. Recent developments in laser-cooling techniques have made possible new families of experiments at microKelvin temperatures. My group investigates techniques for manipulating cold atoms and studies interactions between trapped alkali atoms at collision energies below one microKelvin. I am best known for producing a Bose-Einstein condensate in a sample of trapped atoms. Most recently I've begun a project to measure the electric dipole moment of the electron, a project designed to investigate the particle physics concept known as "supersymmetry."

Ultrafast optics is my primary research interest. In particular, I study the interaction of ultrashort pulses of light with semiconductors. In direct-gap semiconductors, such as gallium arsenide, the coherent optical response is determined by many-body interactions among electronic carriers excited by the incident pulses.

My group concentrates on theoretical problems involving strongly-correlated few-body quantum ystems in various regimes, including ultracold atomic gases, electron-molecule collisions, and laser-molecule interactions. The description of quantum systems with a modest number of strongly-interacting degrees of freedom is highly challenging, even though extensive progress has been made in recent decades. When perturbation theories can be utilized, there is a standard toolkit that is readily applied, but when collective effects are strong, as they often are, it is often advantageous to explore alternative formulations using unconventional coordinate systems such as hyperspherical coordinates. We often utilize adiabatic formulations in one or more coordinates, in order to gain physical insight and map the interaction physics. In many cases this can be applied quantitatively to make predictions or two understand previously uninterpreted phenomena.

Research Areas: Biophysics, Chemical Physics
My interests are in molecular biophysics and optics for biotechnology. In one project, we employ femtosecond nonlinear electronic spectroscopy to investigate active-site dynamical asymmetry in heme proteins, protein-ligand interactions, and flexibility and conformational diversity in protein folding. Another area of my research involves selection strategies employing a microfluidic cellular spectroscopy and optical force-switching instrument for improving the photophysical properties of fluorescent proteins and sensors used in biological imaging. I'm also interested in algal biofuels. For this project, we designed a lab-on-a-chip microfluidic system and are using it in studies to accelerate the process of screening genetic libraries of algae and rapidly assessing and optimizing growth conditions. Finally, we're using optical forces to measure cellular elastic properties in microfluidic flows.

My research focuses on ultracold trapped atoms. My experiments use laser cooling, magnetic trapping, and evaporative cooling to reach temperatures below one microKelvin, where quantum statistics dominate the behavior of atoms. By cooling fermions, in addition to bosons, we can explore a variety of phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation, Cooper pairing of fermions, ultracold atomic interactions, and superfluidity in dilute atomic gases.

My major interest includes the development of new light sources at short wavelengths and their use to study dynamic processes in material and chemical systems. In particular, the recent development of high-energy ultrashort-pulse laser technology (in large part by the research group I co-lead with Professor Murnane) allows generation of coherent extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and soft-X-ray bursts of femtosecond (10-15 sec) and even attosecond (10-18) duration. (For comparison, the ratio of 1 femtosecond to 1 second is about the same as the ratio of 1 second to 30 million years.) The time scales probed by these light pulses correspond to those of chemical reactions and dynamic processes in semiconductors. Short-pulse EUV and X-ray light provides researchers with a unique tool to dynamically observe specific atoms, leading to a deeper understanding of microscopic mechanisms. Furthermore, the ability to implement a "tabletop X-ray laser" light source makes feasible a number of novel applications, such as ultrahigh resolution imaging of single cells, or of nanotech devices, that are independent of the time-resolved aspect. I am also a founding member of the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center in Extreme Ultraviolet Science and Technology (http://euverc.colostate.edu/) and co-founder of a successful laser company (www.kmlabs.com).

Research Areas: Nanoscience, Precision Measurement
My research interests include quantum coherence in nanoscale electrical circuits (solid-state qubits), dynamics of individual electrons in one-dimensional conductors, and ultrafast quantum-limited charge measurements. Recent advances in nanolithography and cryogenic electronics have made it possible to sense individual electrons as they move through nanometer-sized conductors. My research exploits this ability to detect the quantum superposition of macroscopically distinct states of electrical circuits and to detect the flow of single electrons through molecular wires. My current work addresses the following questions: What are the sources of decoherence in solid-state qubits? How efficiently and how quickly do electrons screen each other in nanoscale circuits? Can a sensor of charge reach quantum-limited sensitivity?

My research focuses on understanding the statistics of precision clocks and frequency standards, developing methods for distributing precise time and frequency information, and applying precision measurement techniques to problems of geophysical interest. My specific projects include developing methods for transmitting time using dial-up telephone lines, the internet, and satellite systems; investigating algorithms for authenticating time signals transmitted via public networks; and designing a statistically optimum method for distributing data from a primary frequency standard without degrading its accuracy. In addition, I continue to work to improve the accuracy and stability of Coordinated Universal Time, the time scale used as a reference by all of the NIST time and frequency services.

My group uses a two-step process to prepare ultracold molecules of NH, a simple free radical. The first step, supersonic expansion, forces NH molecules through a small opening into a vacuum system, where intermolecular collisions cool the rapidly expanding gas (400 m/s) to less than 1 K. The second step uses varying electric fields (Stark deceleration) to slow the cold molecules to rest. Once the molecules are cold and stopped, we can subject them to magnetic trapping, electrostatic trapping, laser cooling, or sympathetic cooling. I plan to work with theorist John Bohn to investigate collisions of cold polar NH radicals (produced in this process) with each other and with ultracold atoms such as Rb.

My research centers around the interaction of radiation with ions. I use tunable laser photodetachment to probe electron correlation and to investigate dipole-bound states of negative ions. I use negative-ion photoelectron spectroscopy to determine electron affinities and structures of radicals and metal clusters. I study the transition from gas phase to condensed phase by means of photodissociation and photodetachment of cold cluster ions by using nanosecond and picosecond lasers. I study ultrafast molecular rearrangement dynamics using pump-probe, and photodetachment-photoionization of negative ions.

Nonlinear optics has revolutionized laser science by making it possible to efficiently convert laser light from one wavelength into another. My research exploits the extreme nonlinear optical process of high-harmonic generation, whereby light from an ultrafast laser can be coherently upshifted, resulting in a tabletop laserlike (coherent) light source in the soft x-ray region. The x-ray bursts generated during high-harmonic generation represent the fastest strobe light in existence, fast enough to capture electron dynamics in atoms, molecules, and materials. Exciting applications of attosecond science and technology include capturing and controlling the coupled motions of electrons and atoms in molecules, high-resolution imaging, nanoscale heat transport, and ultrafast element-specific dynamics in magnetic materials.

The biochemical cycle of mechanoenzymes generates a force and a displacement that can be measured at the single-molecule level. The outstanding question is how motor proteins transduce chemical energy into physical motion. To answer this question, we use optical tweezers, a focused laser beam that can manipulate micron-sized beads in solution, allowing measurement of position and force in the nanometer (nm) and piconewton (pN) ranges, respectively. Our research focuses on developing assays and precision instrumentation to measure the properties of single-DNA-based molecular motors. Typically, enzymatic motion along the DNA is measured by anchoring the enzyme to a surface and monitoring the position of an optically trapped bead attached to the DNA's distal end.

My main research interest is quantum systems of interacting atoms, photons, and phonons. I seek to engineer and explore new quantum systems with controlled connections for quantum information and quantum optics. In particular I focus on manipulating single and few ultracold neutral atoms and the quest to control mesoscopic mechanical oscillators in the quantum regime. My experiments draw on, for example, low-loss optical interfaces, high-Q mechanical oscillators, and laser cooling and trapping techniques.

My main research interest is ultracold atoms and molecules loaded in optical lattices, which are periodic trapping potentials created by illuminating the atoms and molecules with laser beams. Atoms in optical lattices are analogous to electrons in solid state crystals. Their big advantage is that these "artificial crystals of light" are perfectly clean and highly controllable. Therefore, they are ideal for exploring a whole range of fundamental phenomena that are extremely difficult — or impossible — to study in traditional condensed matter systems. My goal is to study how to control and manipulate these systems to engineer different quantum phases such as superfluids, insulators, quantum magnets, and topological matter. I plan to use them for understanding the physics of strongly correlated bosonic and fermionic systems and nonequilibrium phenomena. Additionally, I am interested in studying how to generate and manipulate entanglement in quantum systems for use in quantum information processing and precision measurements.

My research focuses on understanding the interface between ultracold atoms and quantum optics - an understanding I plan to apply to the field of precision measurement. I am presently devising strategies to reduce the effect of the fundamental quantum noise that arises from Heisenberg's uncertainty relationship as applied to atomic spins. In one project, I work on non-destructively measuring and canceling out the quantum fluctuations in the collective spin state of an ensemble of laser-cooled 87Rb atoms in a high-finesse optical cavity. By learning how to minimize the effect of quantum noise in this type of system, I hope to advance the precise measurements required for atomic clocks and in searches for permanent electric dipole moments in atoms and molecules.

Astrophysical fluid dynamics is my primary research interest, and my work currently centers on theoretical treatments for compressible convection in stars. The nonlinear theory using computational fluid dynamics is complemented by detailed observations of velocity fields on the Sun, from both ground-based and satellite instruments. My interests extend to helioseismology, in which the five-minute oscillations of the Sun are used as probes of velocity and temperature structures within the interior. My group seeks to understand the coupling of global-scale convection with rotation by using a series of experiments flown on the space shuttle. My nonlinear dynamical studies in geophysics include thermohaline convection in the oceans and stratified shear flows.

My group combines mass spectrometry with laser spectroscopy to characterize positively and negatively charged ions and biomolecules. One project is concerned with infrared spectroscopy of molecular and metal containing cluster ions. These are produced in a pulsed supersonic expansion, and mass selected in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Photons absorption leads to evaporation of weakly bound ligands from the cluster. The absorption spectra of the clusters under study can be measured by monitoring the generation of photofragments as a function of the laser wavelength. In a second project, we are developing a three-stage photofragmentation spectrometer that uses an electrospray ion source to deliver ions into an ion trap (Step 1). There, the ions can be cooled or reacted with small solvent molecules such as water. Next, the products from Step 1 are mass selectred and illuminated with tunable pulsed laser light (Step 2). Finally, the light-induced photofragments are analyzed by means of a time-of-flight spectrometer (Step 3). This system will allow us to study the spectral and dynamical differences between unsolvated, sequentially solvated, and solution phase ion species. In the future, we plan to use it to investigate the photo physics and chemistry of structurally and/or electronically complex molecules such as multiply charged anions, cationic and anionic salt cluster ions, and charged biomolecules.

My research focus is science education. My colleagues and I in the Physics Education Research Group look at how students learn physics and chemistry and we experiment with ways these subjects can be taught more effectively. We are particularly interested in using interactive simulations to explain challenging science concepts and have developed dozens of web-based simulations as part of the Physics Education Technology Project (PhET.). We also study student beliefs about physics and chemistry and how these beliefs impact learning and are shaped by instruction. We have developed survey instruments (CLASS-physics and CLASS-chem) for measuring such beliefs. We recently began looking systematically at the teaching and learning of quantum mechanics.

My main research interests include ultrasensitive laser spectroscopy, optical frequency metrology, and quantum optics using cold atoms. My group is exploring molecular dynamics using exquisitely sensitive absorption-measurement techniques developed in JILA. We also use high-sensitivity techniques to define ultrastable optical frequency standards, currently being explored for their use in metrology, communications, and high-precision measurements such as in NASA's space-borne interferometers. The use of ultrafast lasers has revolutionized the field of optical frequency metrology, and we are actively pursuing research related to the concept and application of this novel field. We are also exploring cold atoms and molecules for their use in high-precision measurement and quantum optics.
