Research Overview
We are generally interested in exploring fundamentals in the fields of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and atomic physics utilizing laser-cooled atoms. Recent work includes the generation and characterization of energy-time entangled photons, nonlinear and non-hermitian optics with cold atoms, as well as quantum state measurement. Current research activities focus on the collective Rydberg qubit in the atomic array and ensemble, and its applications to many-body physics and quantum information science.
