Quantum technologies with trapped ions and photons

TL:DR: AMO Physicist with vast experience on trapped ion systems, single photons and quantum networks.

I am an experimental quantum physicist with a focus on exploring light-matter interactions at the quantum scale. My research delves into understanding how the state of individual photons correlates with the state of atoms. This exploration allows me to exert quantum control over individual atoms and photons, unlocking their potential for groundbreaking applications in quantum technologies such as computers, sensors, and communication.

Currently based in Oxford Physics, a globally recognized institution for its contributions to quantum information science, I have dedicated recent years to refining the entanglement of remote atoms using emitted photons. Our work has achieved high fidelity and speed while pushing the limits of the process. We demonstrated that not only is high performance possible, but we are also entering a phase where these capabilities can revolutionize existing schemes compared to classical methods. 

My primary objective is to integrate my expertise in quantum optics, quantum computation, atomic physics, ion trapping, and classical optics with emerging techniques and technologies in the field. By doing so, I aim to construct modular, robust, and deployable quantum networks, showcasing practical quantum advantages in computing, communications, and sensing.
