    characterization constant G grand challenge gravity imaging interferometry measurement quantum materials sensing

    Summary

    Neutrons are a powerful probe of matter and physics due to their Angstrom size wavelengths, electric neutrality and relatively large mass. In this project, we develop quantum sensors that exploit these attributes to increases the precision of measurements of fundamental forces and materials structure. With David Cory, Alexander Cronin of the University of Arizona, Han Wen of National Institute of Healthand collaborators at NIST, we engineer structure into neutron beams in the form of spatially correlated spin, phase, linear and angular momentum to create novel neutron interferometers.  Examples include, three-phase grating interferometers capable of high precision measurements of the gravitational constant, and phase contrast imaging to map the internal structure of quantum materials.

    Figure 1. An experimental configuration for quantum sensing via structured neutron probes and interferometry. Such experiments can be applied for measurements of the gravitational constant, for phase contrast neutron imaging and for mapping the internal structure of quantum materials.

    Quantum Dynamics of Cavity Interactions with Spin Ensembles

    Summary   High quality factor cavities can be powerful control elements for ensembles of spins, enabling unitary control as well as on demand cooling. They can also be used to couple two otherwise non-interacting ensembles. The goal of the project is to explore the physics and engineering of such systems both theoretically and experimentally. The laboratory contains a […]

    Next Generation Quantum Sensors

    We are developing new semiconductor p-n junctions and designing novel nanowire arrays that have the potential to significantly enhance the ability to detect light at the single photon level over an unprecedented wavelength range from the ultraviolet to infrared.

    Qubits and Quantum Effects in Biology

    It is unknown whether biological processes make direct use of quantum effects, as opposed to depending merely on the influence of quantum physics on chemical bonding and molecular structure.

    Novel High-Speed Receiver for Quantum Communication and Sensing

    Summary  An essential aspect of a quantum channel is the detection and analysis of quantum signals in the form of photons. For most free-space applications, the photons are polarization encoded, e.g. by assigning the ‘0’ to horizontally polarized photons and ‘1’ to vertically polarized photons. However, where the geometric reference is not constant at all […]
