Labs
The federally funded physics labs that planted themselves in Colorado and produced three Nobel Prizes. Every commercial company on this site descends, in some form, from work done here.
The federal physics lab that planted itself at the foot of the Flatirons in 1954. With JILA, the joint institute it co-founded with CU Boulder, the gravitational center of the valley.
The joint institute of NIST and CU Boulder, founded in 1962 on the CU campus. One of the world's most concentrated centers of atomic, molecular, and optical physics.
The list is short on purpose. NIST Boulder and JILA are the lab. The other federal sites that touch Colorado quantum (NREL, Sandia, Los Alamos) appear in the broader Tech Hub directory. For universities, see the Universities index.
