AMO Quantum Science Research

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) offers research opportunities in quantum sciences at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory. The quantum sciences branch investigates various platforms including neutral atomic vapor, trapped ions, solid state defects, doped solids, and photonics for applications in quantum communication, sensing, and computation. The program is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Current experiments in the neutral atom lab use both room-temperature and laser-cooled ensembles coupled to optical cavities with applications to quantum memories and repeaters, sensing, and clocks. Scientists and Engineers at ARL help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields. The program provides opportunities for researchers at any academic level with relevant background experience.
