Our group focuses on the use of individual atoms and photons for fundamental studies of quantum physics and applications in quantum information science.

A long term goal of our research is the fabrication of a large-scale quantum computer network that could store and process information in a way that could eclipse the performance of a conventional computer. Our main tools are the ion trap and the laser, providing control of the most pristine source of qubits: trapped atomic ions.
