她研究超低温条件下原子和分子的行为（At almost negligible particle densities, and in cold far more frigid than the farthest reaches of space, the rules of physics that govern the everyday world give way to the probabilistic regime of quantum mechanics. There, particles show the characteristics of waves, and uncertainty often replaces the deterministic.）

她的研究成果对开发超导体和量子计算机有重要意义（Such work is expected to aid in the development of more practical and effective superconductors, materials that can carry electric currents without resistance.

Calling the ultracold polar molecules highly promising as candidates for use in a quantum computer, he said such devices would far outstrip the speeds of current computers.）
