... The Quantum Measurement Division covers a wide breadth of interests, including fundamental science and everyday needs and applications. The division's strategic goals are to explore fundamental aspects of the quantum nature of light and matter; develop quantum metrology and the Quantum SI; create the foundations for electrical, mass, and force metrology from first principles; deliver improved measurement services; and disseminate critically evaluated atomic reference data.

... The Fundamental Electrical Measurements Group provides the foundation of the nation's electrical infrastructure through measurement services in the general areas of resistance, impedance, and related quantities. As part of its mission, the group maintains an active research program in precision measurements based on fundamental constants and in the development of quantum electrical standards.

... This loss provides a challenge to financially supporting the research effort, although the loss of NSF Physics Frontier Center funding is an opportunity to explore new research directions. The LCT Group is highly aligned with the National Quantum Initiative Act and well positioned to capitalize on new federal funding programs in this area.

... Phillips explaining the Quantum SI revolution to broad audiences worldwide. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The activities of the Quantum Measurement Division cover a remarkably wide range of topics, including basic research on the foundations of quantum measurements and quantum information science, and their applications to the redefinition and Mise en Pratique of the Quantum SI.

... Attending campus recruiting events, giving seminars within university departments, and connecting with the Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes, DOE National Quantum Initiative centers, and other center-scale programs could provide a pathway to higher visibility RECOMMENDATION: The Quantum Measurement Division should become more proactive in outreach to universities with a goal of developing a recruiting pipeline. No plan was presented to the panel for improving the NIST Calibration Services, which is a unique service that NIST provides to industry.
