About the Thompson Group

Our lab explores two frontiers of quantum science: quantum simulation and quantum sensing. ��We do this in four different experiments using laser-cooled strontium and rubidium atoms trapped between highly reflective mirrors. ��Light-matter interactions create correlations and entanglement between thousands to millions of atoms. ��We use all��aspects of quantum mechanics: ��unitary dynamics, the quantum measurement process, and dissipation. Explore the different projects below to learn more about dynamical phase transitions, entangled matterwave interferometers, and superradiant lasers.��
