Imagine creating a new form of matter right here in Boulder—so cold, it barely exists anywhere in the universe. That’s exactly what physicist Deborah Jin pulled off at JILA, just off Pearl Street. By chilling potassium atoms to near absolute zero, she unlocked the first-ever fermionic condensate, changing how we understand quantum physics. Jin’s work not only put Boulder on the global science map but also opened doors for women in physics. Her legacy lives on in the labs and the students she inspired. What do you think—could Boulder become the next hub for quantum breakthroughs? #Science #Boulder #QuantumPhysics
