Our research group's focus is on precision measurement and quantum control with laser-cooled atoms and molecules.
Table-top measurements with atoms and molecules can compete with large high-energy experiments in accessing nature's largest energy scales and smallest lengths. Our research goals include developing ultralow-energy precision measurement techniques for new quantum systems such as molecules that so far have been difficult to produce and manipulate with a high degree of control. Further, we are interested in applying quantum measurement techniques to fundamental physics questions, including constraining a violation of the Local Position Invariance through studies of fundamental constants and testing the existence of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles that may constitute dark matter.
