Recipients of the 2024 U.S. Department of Energy’s Early Career Research Program are each awarded $550,000 a year for five years to help them answer complex questions.
As part of the Q-NEXT collaboration, Nitin Samarth is helping grow the capabilities of the Argonne Quantum Foundry. He’s also building a library of atom-scale materials for quantum technologies — and he’s sharing it with everyone.
Scientists map atomic vibrations in diamond, linking them with the behavior of the quantum system embedded within. The work advances quantum sensors, which will be significantly more precise than today’s detection tools.
