JoAnne Hewett

Students and postdocs: Chat with Q-NEXT Deputy Director JoAnne Hewett on Wednesday, April 13, 2-3:15 p.m. ET / 1-2:15 p.m. CT / 12-1:15 p.m. MT / 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. PT.

In this second installment of the Meet a PI series, students and postdocs will have the chance to talk with JoAnne in an informal setting and ask her about research, career advice, and anything else that’s on the mind of early-career researchers.

Hewett is the associate laboratory director for fundamental physics and chief research officer at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. She is also a professor of particle physics and astrophysics at SLAC and Stanford University.

Email Leah Hesla at [email protected] with questions. A calendar invitation has been sent to Q-NEXT students and postdocs.

  • Making the atomic universe visible

    Pennsylvania State University's Nitin Samarth is helping grow the capabilities of the Argonne Quantum Foundry. He’s also building a library of atom-scale materials for quantum technologies — and he’s sharing it with everyone. Read More

  • X-ray imagery of vibrating diamond opens avenues for quantum sensing

    Scientists map atomic vibrations in diamond, linking them with the behavior of the quantum system embedded within. The work advances quantum sensors, which will be significantly more precise than today’s detection tools. Read More

  • New method could yield fast, cross-country quantum network

    Scientists have struggled to come up with practical methods of building networks that can connect quantum computers. Now, researchers at the University of Chicago have proposed a new approach — building long quantum channels using vacuum sealed tubes with an array of spaced-out lenses. These… Read More

  • ‘Quantum optical antennas’ provide more powerful measurements on the atomic level

    From the University of Chicago: Researchers have never been able to tap the potentially huge intensity enhancements of some “atomic antennas” in solid materials simply because they were solids. Now, a multi-institutional team led by the University of Chicago's Alex High has cracked this problem. Read More

  • 'Get entangled' with Eric Chitambar

    At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, theorist Eric Chitambar studies quantum communication. He is passionate about teaching and appreciates the strong collaborative spirit at UIUC, where his experimentalist colleagues help realize his group's ideas on hardware. Read More
