2/7/2024 0 Comments Coolest physics phenomenaJason specializes in developing light pulse atom interferometers and optical atomic clocks, and how to use them in space. Jason Williams is joining us from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Joining us today to discuss CAL we have two of the best in the field. The lab launched in May of 2018 and over the past couple of years has already shown revolutionary breakthroughs for quantum research. CAL is a facility on the International Space Station that allows researchers to dive into amazing atomic and quantum discoveries, which could only be possible due to the space’s microgravity environment. A huge impact at the smallest scale: when you hear “quantum science,” what’s the first thing that pops to your head? Would it be the coldest spot in the entire universe? Would you think that it’s just 250 miles away from Earth? Maybe you’re thinking about a different state of matter or quantum bubbles? What could only be imagined by science fiction writers is now possible with a facility called the Cold Atom Laboratory, or CAL. On this podcast we bring in the experts, scientists, engineers, and astronauts, all to let you know what’s going on in the world of human spaceflight. Gary Jordan (Host): Houston, we have a podcast! Welcome to the official podcast of the NASA Johnson Space Center, Episode 257, “The Coolest Experiment in the Universe.” I’m Gary Jordan and I’ll be your host today. This episode was recorded on July 28, 2022. Jason Williams discuss the importance of the Cold Atom Laboratory on the International Space Station, where NASA’s Biological & Physical Sciences Division out of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory remotely conducts quantum science. Listen to in-depth conversations with the astronauts, scientists and engineers who make it possible. From Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars, explore the world of human spaceflight with NASA each week on the official podcast of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
