We will recruit a new PhD student for the 2026-2027 academic year. If you are interested, apply to the UW ECE PhD program.
Our lab builds quantum hardware for computing, sensing, and communication by combining atomic physics with optical and electrical engineering. We mostly shine lasers and microwaves at atoms—or atom-like systems—to control their quantum states. Right now, we’re focused on developing the two QT3 lab testbeds: (1) a neutral atom quantum processor using rubidium, where we will develop new ways to scale up optical control, and (2) a diamond-based platform using single nitrogen-vacancy centers and nearby nuclear spins for exploring quantum networks and precision sensing. We collaborate closely with Kai-Mei Fu’s Quantum Defect Lab on the diamond testbed.
📍 Located in the Paul Allen Center at the University of Washington.
