What We Do
Non-linear Optics
Nonlinear optics in cold atoms have been demonstrated using the electromagnetically induced transparency effect. Read More about Non-linear Optics
Entangled Photons
Photonic entanglement in the degree of freedom of energy-time has been generated, manipulated, and characterized. Read More about entangled photons
Rydberg Qubits
A collective Rydberg qubit has been realized in a confined atomic ensemble with a long coherence time. Read More about Qubits
Quantum Measurement
A novel method of δ-quench measurement has been proposed and applied to measure quantum temporal wavefunctions. Read More about quantum measurement
We are a new experimental quantum optics group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Washington State University. Our group currently utilizes trapped neutral atomic arrays and ensembles and their highly excited Rydberg states to explore atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics. We are generally interested in quantum optics, nonlinear optics, atomic physics, cavity quantum electrodynamics, Rydberg-mediated interactions, many-body physics, quantum information processing, quantum simulation, quantum sensing, quantum photonics, and so on. We aim to develop new techniques, as well as study fundamental physical phenomena and their unique applications in the fields of quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum information science.
