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 realization of large-scale quantum information networks that could store and process information in a way that could eclipse the performance of conventional computers. Our main tools are electromagnetic atom traps and lasers, providing control of the most pristine source of quantum bits: trapped atomic ions.
