    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 Simulations of Fundamental Interactions

    Summary To address questions in modern physics such as “what is the structure of matter inside neutron stars?” we need better computational methods to evaluate the interplay of fundamental forces between elementary particles. To-date the response to such questions rests on numerical computer simulations that are inherently limited. In this project, we develop new theoretical […]

    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 […]

    Materials for Majorana-based Topological Qubits

    Summary   Topological qubits offer a novel pathway to scalable quantum computing by simultaneously allowing for ease of coupling between qubits and strong decoupling of qubits from noise and dissipation. The most promising direction explores the topologically induced protection of theoretically predicted exotic quasiparticles, the so-called Majorana Zero Modes or MZMs. To-date MZMs, which follow […]

    Quantum Information Processing with Molecular Lattices

    The aim of the work is to develop theoretical tools to simulate and predict the behaviour of a one-dimensional chain of trapped dipolar molecules and to study the nature of entanglement as a design resource.
