With single quantum state resolution
Our lab at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore, is interested in using arrays of tweezer-trapped atoms as quantum "lego" blocks to simulate advanced materials.
Quantum simulation is the modeling of nature with quantum building blocks like atoms and molecules.
Quantum simulation allows us to study interesting quantum materials while working towards building powerful computers.
Arrays of optical tweezers provide a powerful platform for controlling individual quantum building blocks in a scalable manner.
Atoms, molecules, lasers, microwaves, electric fields, magnetic fields, some epic code, and a huge dose of fun!
Huanqian delivers an invited talk at the APS March Meeting. It was great to meet so many colleagues and old friends again, and to build new friendships!
Our invited roadmap article on “Atom Arrays for Quantum Simulation”, as part of the “2022 Roadmap for Materials for Quantum Technologies”, is posted on the arXiv.
Jeb joins our lab as an undergraduate intern. Welcome, Jeb!
Huanqian gives an invited talk online at the MajuLab@Sorbonne University workshop.
Huanqian gives an invited talk at the 21st Asian Quantum Information Science conference.
We bid farewell to Vanessa, who moves to JILA/CU Boulder for her PhD studies. All the best, Vanessa! Do take some time to enjoy the beautiful mountains while pursuing great science.
Datla Prithvi Raj joins us as an undergraduate intern. Welcome, Raj!
We also extend a warm welcome to Billy, formerly our UROPS and FYP student, who is rejoining the lab for his PhD after pursuing his Master’s degree at the Niels Bohr Institute. Welcome again, Billy!
Huanqian is honored to be featured in Asian Scientist as one of Asia’s rising scientists. Here is the interview by Asian Scientist magazine.
It’s international conference season! Mujahid gave a crisp contributed talk on our magic wavelength results at DAMOP. Huanqian will be giving two invited talks, the first one at Atomtronics on 10 June and the second talk at MH 21 in July.
Our paper by Mujahid et al is posted on the arXiv! We demonstrate an order-of-magnitude increase in the scalabilty of atom arrays, enabled by D1 magic wavelengths that have been theoretically predicted for the alkali atoms but not yet observed before.
Huanqian is honored to be selected for the 2021 edition of the Asian Scientist 100 list. Thank you @asianscientist for the recognition!
Vanessa, who just completed her Master’s thesis in the group of Ulrich Schneider at Cambridge University, joins us as a research assistant. Welcome, Vanessa!
Nigel joins us as an undergraduate intern. Welcome, Nigel!
Xiu Quan begins a new journey as he makes the jump from atom array factories to real life factories at KLA Tencor. We wish you every success in life, Xiu Quan!
