The long-term goals of our research group are to understand, control, and engineer large and interacting quantum systems. To achieve these objectives, we integrate methods and techniques from quantum optics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information science. Our key research objectives are: (1) Quantum Simulation: Leverage atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) systems to tackle fundamental questions in condensed matter. (2) Exotic Quantum Phenomena: Investigate novel many-body effects—particularly far-from-equilibrium dynamics, time evolution, and dissipation—that are challenging or impossible to probe in other systems. (3) Quantum Technologies: Develop advanced tools such as high-accuracy sensors, quantum optics devices, and scalable quantum processors.
