  10. AMO Support Funding (on campus) • Orozco • Cavity QED NSF ~ 154 k$/year • Fr Anapole NSF ~ 144 k$ • Rolston • Cold Plasma NSF ~ 163 k$ • Opt. Lattice NASA ~ 80 k$ • Rolston/Orozco • Quantum interconnects (NSF-ITR) ~ 110 k$ • Quant. info. w/ neutral atoms (NIST/ARDA) ~ 180 k$ (plus ~ 380 k$ for off-campus (NIST)) Theme Group 1

  11. AMO • Collaborations • Francium Collaboration • 2 Physicists • UMD + SUNY Stony Brook • Quantum Information Collaboration - NSA/ARDA • 12 Physicists • NIST + UMD + UNM + UA + Darmsadt + Inst. D’Optique • US/Italy collaboration • 4 Physicists • Univ. of Pisa + UMD • UMD/ Univ. Innsbruck • IPST (Wendell Hill) Theme Group 1

  12. AMO • Awards and Recognition • Phillips • Nobel Prize • APS Fellow • OSA Fellow • Institute of Physics (UK) Fellow • Orozco • APS Fellow • OSA Fellow • Guggenheim Fellow • Institute of Physics (UK) Fellow • Rolston • APS Fellow Theme Group 1

  13. AMO • Limiting Issues • Group is too small. • We need junior faculty. • There is a negotiation for a senior theorist (target of opportunity). • Need to establish the Joint Quantum Institute with NIST. • Encourages Phillips’ involvement • Encourages interaction with Condensed Matter • NIST researchers can be a great LOCAL resource • Space for growth will be problematic. • Already lab and offices are in different buildings. • Need significant presence to compete for quality students. Theme Group 1

  14. Encouraging AMO at UMD • Started Graduate AMO course 2004 • Hope to offer biannually (more frequent than normal) • NIST staff will teach in Fall 2005 • Gave undergraduate AMO special topics course • Started AMO Seminar • Run occasional joint QCI/AMO seminars • Submitted NSF-CCLI proposal to revamp junior optics lab (PHYS375) Theme Group 1
