Quantum Electrical Metrology Division Programs, Activities, and Accomplishments

摘要

The Quantum Electrical Metrology Division was created in November, 2003, with the merger of the Electricity Division in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and the Electromagnetic Technology Division in Boulder, Colorado. The Electricity Division brings a proud 100-year history of precise electrical measurements. The Electromagnetic Technology Division brings a younger 35-year history of creating world-leading quantum-based standards and measurements. The new division was formed to emphasize interdependence of the Electricity Division's use of the Electromagnetic Technology Division's quantum standards. The combined division unites fundamental electrical metrology and leading-edge quantum-based metrology research to create a dynamic organization poised to lead quantum metrology into the future. This document is organized into two main sections, Quantum Standards, and Quantum Measurements. Within those sections each Division project is described without reference to its geographical location. Appendix C describes the organizational location of all the projects we present. In addition Appendix D is a Division staff list for readers wishing to phone or e-mail us more about a topic.
