Bonnie Marlow

Principal

Physicist and Quantum Sensors Group Leader

Dr. Bonnie Marlow is a physicist specializing in quantum sensors and nonlinear optics. Her work is centered around enabling risk reduction for the development and deployment of quantum technologies, with a focus on atomic sensors. Currently,
Bonnie is the leader of the Quantum Sensors Group at The MITRE Corporation, where she is responsible for technical and strategic leadership in quantum sensing across multiple government work programs. She also leads multiple partnerships with industry, academia, and government labs.
Since joining MITRE 7 years ago, Bonnie has established MITRE’s first experimental atomic sensing research program and continues to co-lead the expansion of MITRE’s experimental and theoretical quantum sensing capabilities. Her goal is to support the transition of quantum sensors from the laboratory to practical use and to facilitate early identification of systems integration and deployment challenges.
Bonnie earned an AB degree in Physics from Bryn Mawr College and AM and PhD degrees in Physics from Duke University. Her doctoral research focused on experimental and theoretical studies of nonlinear optical effects in ultracold atoms.
She was also a postdoctoral researcher at the Joint Quantum Institute, where her research focused on non-classical states of light for precision metrology.
