Darkwah-Oppong Lab @ Caltech
The Darkwah-Oppong lab will be a new experimental research group in the Physics Department at Caltech. We are broadly interested in questions from quantum science and precision measurement, such as:
- How can we improve atomic clocks based on optical qubits?
- How can we harness control over individual atoms for improved metrology schemes?
- How can we precisely control quantum many-body dynamics to probe interesting phases of matter or engineer entangled states with metrological gain?
- How can we make use of quantum-enhanced sensitivity in precision measurements?
To investigate these and related questions, we will use the powerful toolbox of AMO physics and rely on the rich electronic structure of alkaline-earth-like atoms as well as the versatility of programmable atom arrays.
We are excited to be part of the vibrant Quantum Science and Engineering community at Caltech. Our laboratories will be located in the brand new Ginsburg Center for Quantum Precision Measurement (picture shows architectural visualization) which brings together theorists and experimentalist working in quantum science.
