On April 21st, Quantum Scholars got a powerful message from Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser: be curious in changing times.
Weiser urged students to lead with curiosity and clear ethical boundaries as emerging technologies like quantum and AI transform industries and society.

Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day! 🌟
Congratulations to @cuboulder professors Steve Pollock and Andreas Becker on receiving Outstanding Physics Teacher Awards! They were honored at our Physics Recognition Ceremony on May 2. 🎉
@cuartssciences
We asked some of our graduating physics and engineering physics Buffs what advice they had for other students, what graduating means to them, and what’s next after CU 🥹🎓
Swipe to read their answers ➡️

Congratulations to Professor and JILA/NIST Fellow Jun Ye on his election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences! 👏
Ye’s election recognizes his extraordinary contributions to physics and quantum science, including pioneering advances in optical atomic clocks, precision measurement and quantum many-body physics.
Five Nobel laureates. One bold research university. 🦬
Did you know? CU Boulder’s research excellence is recognized on the world stage. As a top-ranked R1 institution, CU Boulder is home to five Arts and Sciences Nobel laureates.

Join us for our next Saturday Physics Talk at CU Boulder! ⚛️⏱️
🗓️ Saturday, April 25 at 2:30 p.m.
📍 Duane Physics, Room G1B30
Time and Frequency With Stars, Clocks, and Organ Pipes Presented by: Professor Judah Levine
How do we define time and how have those definitions changed over centuries? Professor Judah Levine will explore the evolution of time and frequency standards, from early astronomical observations to today’s precision clocks, and look ahead to how these definitions may evolve in the future.
🤗 Free and open to the public. All are welcome!

🎉 Huge congratulations to our NSF Graduate Research Fellowship recipients: Raymond Anchordoquy, Leo Illing, Miles Mackenzie, Julia White, and alumni Aaron Barrios and Blake Maly, and three additional students and alumni who received honorable mentions!
We’re so proud to see our physics students recognized at the national level with this prestigious fellowship – congratulations! 👏
Did you know that quantum science and technology are rooted in Colorado?
Hear from these @cuboulderphysics and @cuengineering students about their quantum research and why it matters.
Happy #WorldQuantumDay, Buffs!
We can’t wait to celebrate our physics and engineering physics grads at the Physics Recognition Ceremony on Saturday, May 2! 🎓✨
➡️ Graduating students make sure to RSVP by Wednesday Apr. 15!
