Jade Cooley

Alumna studies climate change in groundbreaking Antarctic research

Sept. 11, 2016

蜜糖直播 Boulder alumna Jade Cooley begins her science talks to students throughout Washington by saying, 鈥淢y name is Jade, and I once set off explosives in Antarctica for science. Now I鈥檓 going to tell you about glaciology.鈥 Cooley, a physics graduate, spent six weeks conducting research and camping on Antarctica鈥檚 Ross Ice Shelf last November.

NIST physicist David Wineland adjusts an ultraviolet laser beam used to manipulate ions in a high-vacuum apparatus containing an 鈥渋on trap.鈥 These devices have been used to demonstrate the basic operations required for a quantum computer. Such computers, by relying on quantum mechanics rather than transistors to perform calculations or store information, could someday solve problems in seconds that would take months on today鈥檚 best supercomputers.
