Congratulations to Wen Jun for winning both the Lijen Industrial Development Medal and the Outstanding Undergraduate Research Prize for his honors project!

The APS annual DAMOP meeting is here! Weikun gives a contributed talk and poster on our defect-free 225-atom arrays, while Luheng presents a poster on the sodium experiment.

A four-PI team led by Huanqian (with co-PIs Prof Gong, Prof Lee, and Prof Lim) has been awarded about SGD 3.8 million under the Singapore Quantum Engineering Program. We are ready to perform some exciting quantum simulations with our atom arrays!

Huanqian gives an invited talk at the Optica Quantum 2.0 conference.

Invited by Prof. Gyuboong Jo, Huanqian gives a talk at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Institute for Advanced Study-Center for Quantum Technologies (IAS CQT) seminar.

Huanqian gives an invited talk and chairs a session at the exciting 4th Asian-Pacific Workshop on Trapped Quantum Systems (APTQS 2022).

Huanqian delivers an invited talk at the American Physical Society 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.

Our manuscript entitled ‘D1 magic wavelength tweezers for scaling atom arrays’ is published in Physical Review Research! Our work is also featured as a CQT highlight. Congrats to Mujahid, Luheng, Xiu Quan, and Krishna for working so hard to bring these results to fruition!

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!
