Abstract: Research on precise control of quantum systems occurs in many laboratories, for fundamental research, precise standards, new measurement techniques, and more recently for quantum information processing. I will briefly describe the NIST trapped-ion group’s projects in these areas, but these only serve as examples of similar work being performed in many other laboratories around the world.
