Thompson earned his undergraduate degree in Physics from Florida State University and his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His doctoral work with David E. Pritchard focused on comparing the masses of two trapped ions with precision better than ten parts in a trillion for testing Einstein's mass-energy relationship E=mc2. As part of this work, James and his colleague Simon Rainville also discovered a novel method for making non-demolition measurements of the quantum state of single molecules. James was awarded the APS DAMOP thesis prize for this work. James moved to the MIT laboratory of Vladan Vuletic at the MIT\/Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms for his postdoctoral work, where he developed atomic quantum memories and entangled photon sources using laser-cooled atoms. Since moving to JILA and the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado, James's work has focused on studying how to exploit collective and quantum effects to advance precision measurement and explore many-body physics. His work includes the demonstration of highly entangled spin-squeezed states, the realization of superradiant lasers based on mHz linewidth transitions, development of novel spectroscopy and laser cooling techniques, and explorations of quantum many-body simulation and dynamical phase transitions.", "occurrence_notes":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/93973918910?jst=2", "guid":"148609-21904522@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148609", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"PML2000", "location_name":"Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project PML2000", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"zoom", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"939739189102", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/939739189102", "cost":"", "tags":["Astronomy","Chemistry","Computer Science And Engineering","Electrical And Computer Engineering","Electrical Engineering And Computer Science","Materials Science","Physics","Quantum","Quantum Computing","Quantum Science","Applied Physics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Materials Science and Engineering", "group_id":"3942", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_148609_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21904522 } , "148610-21904524": { "datetime_modified":"20260917T074807", "datetime_start":"20261008T110000", "datetime_end":"20261008T120000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-08", "date_end":"2026-10-08", "time_start":"11:00:00", "time_end":"12:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Quantum Research Institute | Unleashing Analog Quantum Computing", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Quantum Research Institute | Unleashing Analog Quantum Computing: Susanne Yelin (Harvard University)", "event_subtitle":"Susanne Yelin (Harvard University)", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"Zoom: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/91606990026?jst=2\nIn-Person: Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, 2301 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA, Room 2000\n\nAbstract: Recent advances are expanding the power and flexibility of analog quantum platforms, opening new routes for both quantum simulation and quantum information science. In this talk, I will discuss how modest levels of control can be used to access key observables and dynamical regimes in strongly correlated fermionic systems, including settings with pairing, long-range interactions, and cooling. I will also describe how globally controlled analog platforms can nevertheless achieve universal quantum computation, and how optimal-control techniques can be used to engineer complex effective interactions and topological dynamics. Finally, I will outline recent progress toward approximate error correction tailored to analog quantum systems. Together, these developments point toward a broader view of analog quantum computing, in which large-scale quantum devices are not only simulators of specific models, but flexible computational resources whose capabilities can be systematically unlocked.\n\nBio\nSusanne Yelin's research interests are in theoretical quantum optics and quantum information science. Current research directions include quantum control of ultracold polar molecules, investigation of novel coherence-based optical elements, single-photon nonlinear optics using dipolar systems, coherent metamaterials and negative refractivity, coherent control in condensed matter systems, and superradiance.", "occurrence_notes":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/91606990026?jst=2",
