We attempt to cool a macroscopic mechanical system to its ground state with laser cooling techniques. A particular emphasis is on the exploration of quantum behaviors in an otherwise classical mechanical system. |
|
Cavity QED with NV Centers in Diamond We couple nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond to whispering gallery modes in a silica optical microresonator. A particular goal is to control optical interactions at the level of single photons and single spins, enabling applications such as spin-photon interface for quantum internet. |

Optical Spin Manipulations of Spins in Semiconductors We use ultrafast optical pulses to probe, manipulate, and preserve quantum coherences of electron spins in semiconductors. |

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Semiconductors EIT is a phenomenon that renders an otherwise opaque medium transparent with destructive quantum interference. We pursue EIT in semiconductors for potential applications in classical as well as quantum information processing. |
