Sae Woo Nam (* 1970 ) is an American physicist.
Nam studied physics and electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1991 and Stanford University , where he received his master’s degree in physics in 1998 and his PhD that same year. In his dissertation he developed superconducting transition edge sensors (TES) for low-temperature experiments to search for dark matter (Cryogenic Dark Matter Search Experiment, CDMS). He continued his work on TES and its applications as a post-doctoral student at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for example for a later commercialized X-ray detector system with high resolution and a readout system that is used in advanced sub-millimeter wavelength telescopes finds. In 2001 he was employed by NIST. He was in a group that demonstrated TES for the first time for direct observation of optical photons and used this for astronomical observations and for detectors for optical communication. He also deals with the development of quantum computers (realization of qubits ) based on Josephson transitions .
In 2002 he received a Presidential Early Career Award (PECASE). In 2003, Popular Science included him in their selection of ten brilliant scientists.
In 2017 he received the John Stewart Bell Prize with Ronald Hanson and Anton Zeilinger . The award was given for the loophole-free execution of Bell inequality experiments , which three groups succeeded in 2015.
