Optical Magnetometry

Dmitry Budker is Professor of Physics at the University of California at Berkeley, Faculty Scientist in the Nuclear Science Division, LBNL, and Co-founder and Scientist of Rochester Scientific, LLC. His research interests are related to the study of violation of discrete symmetries and the development and applications of the optical-magnetometry techniques. Derek Jackson Kimball is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at California State University, East Bay. His research focuses on using techniques of experimental atomic physics and nonlinear optics for precision tests of the fundamental laws of physics.
