We build quantum computers out of single atoms trapped in optical tweezers. These systems allow realizing highly advanced quantum information processing using simple off-the-shelf components in a university-lab apparatus. 

Quantum error correction is a remarkable physical phenomenon that has just now started to work after three decades of progress. We are right now at the cusp of exponential error suppression that will enable the quantum computers of the future. We will be using such error-corrected systems to search for new physics in regimes of extreme entanglement and complexity that have possibly never existed on earth.

We use programmable atomic systems to simulate interesting quantum systems ranging from quantum phases of matter, topological spin liquids, nonequilibrium systems, fermionic systems, and more.

We will be subjecting atomic clocks to extreme situations to see what new physics we can observe.

Our lab engages deeply in quantum error correction theory and collaborates very closely with theory groups. We look to use theory insights to greatly simplify how we build our experiments.
