Career
Walsworth has been recognized for his contributions to science. In 2001, he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[2] He was a Distinguished Traveling Lecturer for the American Physical Society from 2002 to 2023. In 2005, he received the Francis M. Pipkin Award in Precision Measurements from the American Physical Society.[3] He also received the Smithsonian Institution Exceptional Service Award; and the Duke University Faculty Scholar Award.
Since 2020, Walsworth has served as the Founding Director of the Quantum Technology Center at the University of Maryland [4]; and also as a Minta Martin Professor in the Department of Physics [5] and in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering [6] at the University of Maryland. He previously served as a Senior Physicist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Physics at Harvard University
Walsworth has helped establish several startup companies. In 2012, he co-founded Quantum Diamond Technologies, Inc. (QDTI), together with Mikhail Lukin and others, to develop biomedical diagnostic technology using NV-diamond magnetic imaging.[7] In 2014, he co-founded Hyperfine, together with Matthew Rosen and Jonathan Rothberg, to develop the world's first portable human MRI instrument. [8] [9] Hyperfine became a public company in 2021.[10] In 2020, he founded Quantum Catalyzer (Q-Cat), to perform quantum research and also create new quantum technology startups. [11]
