David J. Wineland in 2008

David Jeffrey Wineland (born February 24, 1944) is an American physicist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) physics laboratory in Boulder. His work has included advances in optics, specifically laser cooling of ions in Paul traps and use of trapped ions to implement quantum computing operations.

Wineland graduated from Encina High School in Sacramento, California in 1961.[1] He received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1965 and his PhD in 1970 working under Norman Ramsey at Harvard University. His doctoral dissertation is entitled "The Atomic Deuterium Maser". He then worked as a postdoc in Hans Dehmelt's group at the University of Washington before joining the National Bureau of Standards in 1975 where he started the ion storage group, now at NIST, Boulder.

Wineland is a fellow of the American Physical society, the American Optical society, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1992. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012 "for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring & manipulation of individual quantum systems."[2]
