Quantum optics & ultra-cold matter

Quantum interfacing matter and light at the single-particle level

We are currently building an ultracold erbium experiment in our lab in the Beecroft building with the aim of studying the effect of long-range interactions on quantum fluids.

Research in our group focuses on theoretical studies of quantum optical platforms including ultracold atoms, ion traps and cavities as well as quantum materials whose non-equilibrium dynamics can be controlled by ultrafast optics.

We are an experimental group studying quantum many-body physics using ultracold atoms, as well as developing high-flux cold atomic sources and its application of matter-wave interferometry.

We are developing techniques and protocols to generate quantum effects in complex systems inlcuding in living systems and are reverse engineering bio-inspired structures in artificial solid-state and hybrid quantum optoelectronic materials.
