David J.

Wineland
have demonstrated optical techniques to prepare ground,
superposition and entangled states. This work has led to
advances in spectroscopy, atomic clocks and quantum information. In 1995 he created he rst single atom quantum logic gate and was the rst to quantum teleport information in massive particles in 2004.[6] Wineland implemented the most precise atomic clock using quantum
logic on a single aluminum ion in 2005.[7]
Wineland is a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Optical Society, and was elected to
the National Academy of Sciences in 1992. He shared
the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics with French physicist
Serge Haroche for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual
quantum systems.[3]

2 Family

Wineland in Stockholm, 2012

Wineland is married to Sedna Quimby-Wineland, and

they have two sons.[8]

David Jerey Wineland[1] (born February 24, 1944)[2]

is an American Nobel-laureate physicist at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) physics
laboratory. His work has included advances in optics,
specically laser cooling trapped ions and using ions for
quantum computing operations. He was awarded the
2012 Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly with Serge Haroche,
for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable
measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems. [3][4]

Sedna Helen Quimby is the daughter of George I. Quimby

(1913 - 2003), an archaeologist and anthropologist, who
was Professor of Anthropology at the University of Washington and Director of the Thomas Burke Memorial
Washington State Museum, and his wife Helen Ziehm
Quimby.[9][10]

Career

1990 Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface

Physics

Wineland graduated from Encina High School in

Sacramento, California in 1961.[1] He received his bachelors degree from the University of California, Berkeley in
1965 and his PhD in 1970, supervised by Norman Foster
Ramsey, Jr.[5] at Harvard University. His doctoral dissertation is entitled The Atomic Deuterium Maser. He
then performed Postdoctoral Research in Hans Dehmelt's
group at the University of Washington where he investigated electrons in ion traps. In 1975, he joined the National Bureau of Standards (now called NIST), where he
started the ion storage group and is on the physics faculty
of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

1990 William F. Meggers Award of the Optical Society of America

1996 Einstein Prize for Laser Science of the Society of Optical and Quantum Electronics (awarded at
Lasers '96).
1998 Rabi Award from the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society[11]
2001 Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in Laser Science[12]
2007 National Medal of Science in the engineering
sciences[13]

Wineland was the rst to laser cool ions in 1978. His

NIST groups uses trapped ions in many experiments on
fundamental physics, and quantum state control. They

2009 Herbert Walther Award from the OSA[14]
