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.
