We are a theoretical research group working at the interface of quantum optics, quantum information science, and condensed matter physics.

Strongly interacting photons
Photons usually don't interact with each other. A grand long-term challenge that we try to solve in the quantum optics part of our research is to implement and study strongly interacting photons. In addition to making optical quantum computing and quantum communication more efficient, strongly interacting photons allow for increased precision in imaging and metrology, and also give rise to fascinating many-body physics (e.g. crystallization of photons or novel dissipative time-dependent phenomena).
Many-body physics with long-range-interacting AMO systems
AMO systems with long-range interactions, such as polar molecules and Rydberg atoms, are arguably the most controllable, tunable, and strongly interacting quantum systems. Precise control over them has recently opened a new paradigm for quantum computing and communication, entanglement generation, and engineering of new phases of matter. Our goal is to advance the frontier of this new paradigm by exploring the – still largely unknown – potential of these systems, which are often evolving in time far out of equilibrium.
JQI Graduate Student Receives DOE Fellowship
Elizabeth Bennewitz, a first-year physics graduate student at JQI and the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS), has received a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship. Bennewitz is one of 33 recipients in 2022—the largest number of students this program has ever selected in a year.
