Nonlinear Optical and 

Atomic Physics

Experimental and theoretical optical and atomic physics. Current projects include quantum computing, spatial squeezing in optical second harmonic generation, pattern formation with optically trapped cold atoms, and cold atom lithography.

In collaboration with Thad Walker's group we are working on neutral atom quantum computing. For more information on quantum computing research in Madison look here.
