Monika Schleier-Smith is an American experimental physicist studying many-body quantum physics by precisely assembling systems of ultracold atoms. These atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO) engineered systems have applications in quantum sensing, coherent control, and quantum computing.[2] Schleier-Smith is an associate professor of physics at Stanford University,[3] a Sloan Research Fellow,[1] and a National Science Foundation CAREER Award recipient.[4] Schleier-Smith also serves on the board of directors for the Hertz Foundation.[5]

Life and career
Schleier-Smith's research career began an opportunity to do nanotechnology research at the MITRE Corporation while she was a student at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia.[6] She went on to attend Harvard University as an undergraduate, receiving a B.A. in Chemistry and Physics and (secondarily) Mathematics in 2005.[1] Afterwards, Schleier-Smith pursued graduate studies with the supervision of Vladan Vuletić at MIT on a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship.[1] Her Ph.D. thesis introduced a quantum-enhanced atomic clock[7] and was recognized by the Hertz Foundation with a Doctoral Thesis Prize.[5] During her time in Boston, Schleier-Smith also completed the Boston Marathon six times.[8] Subsequently, Schleier-Smith conducted postdoctoral research at LMU Munich and Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics.
In the fall of 2013, Schleier-Smith joined the Stanford faculty as an assistant professor of physics. The Schleier-Smith Lab exploits precise hybrid light-matter interactions to demonstrate engineered dynamics in cold atom systems. According to Schleier-Smith, "Hybrid systems are likely to harbor surprises that will fuel quantum science for decades to come".[9] An important regime under investigation is the entanglement frontier.[10]
She is a recipient of the 2019 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.[11]
In 2020, Schleier was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in recognition of her work.[12]
In 2021, Schleier received the I.I Rabi Prize in Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics for her work in quantum optics.[13]
In 2021, Schleier was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[14]
