Waveguide Quantum Electrodynamics

How do you build a large, strongly interacting quantum system one atom at a time?

In our lab, we aim to do so by combining three powerful ingredients:
1.    Long-range interactions mediated by nanophotonic interfaces for cold atoms
2.    Single-atom control offered by optical tweezer arrays
3.    Strong atom–photon coupling that can be achieved in an optical cavity

By bringing these ingredients together, we seek to create and investigate novel quantum systems that are simply impossible to realize using conventional approaches.

We are currently looking for PhD and Master students to join us in building this new experiment.

Depending on your interests, you could work on topics ranging from laser-cooled atoms, nanophotonics and fiber optics.
