Research Interests
My research focuses on quantum control of atoms and molecules at ultracold temperatures. These objects can be effectively isolated from the environment using lasers and ultra-high vacuum, making it possible to control their quantum states with high fidelity. This can be applied to topics including quantum computation, quantum simulation, and precision measurement. I am specifically interested in developing and applying techniques to control increasingly complex objects (e.g. molecules), and to implement increasingly versatile quantum interactions between them (e.g. over long ranges). At Berkeley, I am working to use optical cavities to control photon-mediated, long-range interactions between atoms in optical tweezer arrays.
