Our group aims to theoretically AND experimentally investigate various quantum properties of light-matter interaction for applications in future optoelectronic devices, quantum information processing, and sensing. Moreover, we explore associated fundamental phenomena, such as many-body physics, that could emerge in such physical systems. Our research is at the interface of quantum optics, condensed matter physics, quantum information sciences, and more recently, machine learning.

Quantum Simulation
Given the slow but steady rise of quantum simulators, what are the hardware-efficient ways to implement chemical and physical models? How can we verify that we have implemented the right Hamiltonian? How can we efficiently characterize many-body states on such systems and measure them? Any quantum system is noisy, how can we find efficient ways to characterize and combat the noise?

Quantum optics meets correlated electrons
One of the key challenges in the development of quantum technologies is the control of light-matter interaction at the quantum level where individual excitations matter. During the past couple of decades, there has been tremendous progress in controlling individual photons and other excitations such as spin, excitonic, phononic in solid-state systems. Such efforts have been motivated to develop quantum technologies such as quantum memories, quantum transducers, quantum networks, and quantum sensing.
