Monika Schleier-Smith is an American experimental physicist studying many-body quantum physics by precisely assembling systems of ultracold atoms. These atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) engineered systems have applications in quantum sensing, coherent control, and quantum computing.[2] Schleier-Smith is an Associate Professor of Physics at Stanford University[3], a Sloan Research Fellow,[1] and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipient.[4] Schleier-Smith also serves on the board of directors for the Hertz Foundation.[5]
Life Story
Schleier-Smith attended Harvard University as an undergraduate, receiving a B.A. in Chemistry and Physics and (secondarily) Mathematics.[1] Afterwards, Schleier-Smith pursued graduate studies with the supervision of Vladan Vuletic at MIT on a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.[1] Her Ph.D. thesis introduced a quantum-enhanced atomic clock [6] and was recognized by the Hertz Foundation with a Doctoral Thesis Prize.[5] During her time in Boston, Schleier-Smith also completed the Boston Marathon six times.[7] Subsequently, Schleier-Smith conducted postdoctoral research at LMU Munich and Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics.
In the fall of 2013, Schleier-Smith joined the Stanford faculty as an Assistant Professor of Physics. The Schleier-Smith Lab exploits precise hybrid light-matter interactions to demonstrate engineered dynamics in cold atom systems. According to Schleier-Smith, "Hybrid systems are likely to harbor surprises that will fuel quantum science for decades to come".[8] An important regime under investigation is the entanglement frontier.[9]
She is a recipient of the 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.[10]
