Rydberg Quantum Lab

Neutral-Atom Quantum Computing

We build scalable experimental platforms around Rydberg atoms, optical tweezer arrays, and quantum many-body systems for quantum computing, simulation, and precision metrology.

Research Areas

Research themes span Rydberg quantum optics, atomic-array quantum computing, and precision sensing with Rydberg atoms.

Precision Metrology with Rydberg Atoms

<p>We develop novel microwave sensing technologies with Rydberg atoms, which feature giant electric dipole moments. Such Rydberg quantum sensors promise to go beyond the fundamental limits of classical microwave detectors, with frequency coverage from DC to almost Terahertz.</p>

Rydberg Atomic Array for Quantum Computation and Simulation

<p>We build a highly controllable Rydberg atomic array platform for quantum computing and simulation. 2-D atomic arrays with arbitrary configuration can be programmed, exploiting strong and long-range Rydberg interactions for fast, high-fidelity qubit operations.</p>

Rydberg Quantum Optics

<p>Efficient manipulation of light at the single quanta level is a long-standing goal in quantum optics. By coupling photons with high-lying Rydberg states of cold atom ensembles, we engineer atom-photon and photon-photon interactions, realizing non-classical light generation and high-fidelity entanglement.</p>
