Jun Ye

Jun Ye is currently working in the fields of ultrasensitive laser spectroscopy, optical frequency metrology, and quantum optics using cold atoms.

Jun is exploring molecular dynamics using exquisitely sensitive absorption-measurement techniques and high-sensitivity techniques that are used to define ultrastable optical frequency standards. These applications are currently being explored for their use in metrology, communications, and high-precision measurements such as NASA’s space-borne interferometers. The use of ultrafast lasers has revolutionized the field of optical frequency metrology, and Jun is actively pursuing research related to the concept and application of this field.

Jun received his undergraduate degree in applied physics at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, an M.S. in physics at the University of New Mexico, and a PhD from the University of Colorado. He is a Fellow of the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Jun is also an adjoint professor in the physics department at the University of Colorado and a guest professor at Jiao Tong and East China Normal Universities, both of which are in Shanghai.
