Welcome to our website! We are a research group at Caltech and part of the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM).
Our group conducts experimental and theoretical research in quantum science. This includes experiments with individually controlled alkaline earth atoms targeting novel approaches for quantum simulation, quantum information, and quantum-enhanced metrology as well as theory work in quantum many-body physics, applications of machine learning, and proposals for new quantum science and AMO platforms. |
Openings:
We are looking for new grad students. Prospective and incoming students are encouraged to reach out.
