The Quantum Information Group at the Division of Atomic Physics works on the development of hardware for quantum computing and quantum memories and on developing materials where the speed of light can be slowed by 3-5 orders of magnitude for applications in e.g. laser frequency stabilization and medical imaging and treatment.
We explore quantum phenomena using lasers to prepare atoms and nearly absolute zero temperature and to control their interaction properties, in particular using their highly excited (Rydberg) states. We are especially interested in developing novel applications of ultracold quantum systems, including quantum simulation of exotic states of matter, non-equilibrium physics, quantum sensing, chemistry, biophysics and computing.
