Quantum physics with atoms and

light

Postdoc position on experiments with Rydberg quantum gates available from November 1, 2009. Please contact Mark Saffman for more information.

Experimental and theoretical optical and atomic physics. Current projects include quantum information processing with neutral atoms, and nonlinear dynamics with cold atoms.

We actively collaborate with several groups on different aspects of quantum information:

Jungsang Kim, Duke - MEMS mirrors for beam control

Klaus Mølmer, Aarhus - theory of quantum information with Rydberg atoms

Thad Walker, Madison, Rb atom Rydberg gates
