JILA is one of the nation’s leading research institutes in the physical sciences. Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, JILA was founded in 1962 as a joint institute of CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. JILA’s scientists explore some of today's most challenging and fundamental scientific questions about the limits of quantum measurements and technologies, the design of precision optical and X-ray lasers, the fundamental principles underlying the interaction of light and matter, the role of quantum physics in chemistry and biology, and the processes that have governed the evolution of the Universe for nearly 14 billion years. JILA’s history is marked by many scientific breakthroughs, including the first demonstrations of a frequency comb and a Bose-Einstein condensate. During your visit to JILA, you will have the opportunity to tour research laboratories and the world-renowned JILA Instrument Shop, followed by a walk through the beautiful campus of CU Boulder to a delicious campus dining hall (the C4C), which can accommodate most common food allergies.
