In October, JILA Fellow Dana Anderson, who is also co-founder and chief technology officer at ColdQuanta, a company dedicated to commercializing quantum atomics, introduced “Albert”—nickname for ColdQuanta’s quantum-matter system on the cloud, co-developed with CU Boulder’s CUbit Quantum Initiative.

Albert allows users to remotely—and literally—cool atoms to near absolute zero to create a state of matter in which “quantum-mechanical behavior comes into play on a large scale.” Users can control, study and even photograph “the wavefunction of a quantum cloud of atoms,” allowing them to observe quantum phenomena.

That means students can now access and study quantum from wherever they are.
