Elizabeth Goldschmidt is an experimental physicist and Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her research focuses on quantum optics and quantum information.
Education[edit]
Goldschmidt received her bachelors in physics from Harvard University in 2006 before joining a public policy think tank in Washington, DC for a year.[1] She then attended a physics graduate program at the University of Maryland. In 2013, Goldschmidt obtained her doctorate in physics as a Joint Quantum Institute fellow under advisor Alan Migdall, publishing her thesis entitled "Non-classical light for quantum information."[2]
Career and research[edit]
Upon leaving the University of Maryland, Goldschmidt worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), studying ultracold and Rydberg excited atoms in optical lattices for quantum simulation.[3] Following her time at NIST she joined the United States Army Research Laboratory, headquartered in Maryland, to continue her work on quantum optics in solid-state systems.[1][3] Goldschmidt then joined the physics faculty at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in the fall of 2019 where she currently works. At Urbana-Champaign, her research group focuses on atom-like emitters in solids for applications such as quantum memory and single-photon storage. This includes work with rare-earth atoms, which have electronic structures favorable for quantum information storage.[4] Goldschmidt has authored numerous articles within the field of quantum information, including the 2018/19 Nature publication "A topological source of quantum light.[5]
In early 2022, Goldschmidt was recognized for her excellence in both research and education with the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development award.[6] This award supports a project titled "Dynamically Reconfigurable Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Solid-State Quantum Emitters." A major goal of this project is to use rare-earth mirrors to create optical cavities, within which light-matter interactions can be investigated. In addition, Goldschmidt is designing and implementing a mentorship program for the Open Quantum Initiative Fellowship. This undergraduate fellowship will promote diversity within physics by targeting historically underrepresented groups, with the first recipients beginning research in summer 2022.[6]
