DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Scott A. Diddams\, University of Colorado Boulder
  Abstract The optical frequency comb is one of the most significant la
 ser measurement tools ever realized. It has made routine the counting 
 of the oscillations of light and thereby enables the measurement of qu
 antized energy states of atoms and ions with >18 digits of precision. 
 Yet this is all done with lasers well described as classical states of
  light. Despite the close connection to quantum systems\, there are fe
 w demonstrations of how an optical frequency comb might yield a quantu
 m advantage for metrology. In this talk I will highlight our explorati
 on of the quantum limits of frequency comb metrology\, and I will high
 light examples where squeezed frequency combs are impacting applicatio
 ns in spectroscopic sensing and clocks. Biography Scott Diddams holds 
 the Robert H. Davis Endowed Chair at the University of Colorado Boulde
 r\, where he is also Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics. 
 He carries out experimental research in the fields of precision spectr
 oscopy and quantum metrology\, nonlinear optics\, microwave photonics 
 and ultrafast lasers. Diddams received the Ph.D. degree from the Unive
 rsity of New Mexico in 1996. From 1996 through 2000\, he did postdocto
 ral work at JILA\, NIST and the University of Colorado. Subsequently\,
  Diddams was a Research Physicist\, Group Leader\, and Fellow at NIST 
 (the National Institute of Standards and Technology). In 2022 he trans
 itioned to his present position where he also assumed the role of Facu
 lty Director of the Quantum Engineering Initiative in the College of E
 ngineering and Applied Science. As a postdoc Diddams built the first o
 ptical frequency combs in the lab of Nobel laureate John Hall\, and th
 roughout his career\, he has pioneered the use of these tools for opti
 cal clocks\, tests of fundamental physics\, novel spectroscopy\, and a
 stronomy. His research has been documented in more than 750 peer-revie
 wed publications\, conference papers\, and invited t
