  Research Interests and achievement

Research & Teaching Interests

Our research is focused quantum computation and quantum simulation with semiconductor gate-defined quantum dot arrays. Quantum dots are electrostatically-controlled nanostructures which can confine individual electron spins in semiconducting materials such as silicon (Si), germanium (Ge) and Gallium arsenide (GaAs). The number of charge and interaction strength can be tuned in situ by adjusting electrode voltages. Due to their long-lived coherence, in-situ tunability, small footprints, and potential of mass-production using industrial manufacturing technology, quantum dot arrays have become a promising platform for quantum computation and quantum simulation.

Topics we are interested in:
1) Spin qubit: Encode qubits in the states of electron spins. Develop scalable architecture for single-qubit control, two-qubit interaction, and qubit readout. Collaborate with semiconductor industry on foundry-made spin qubits.
2) Quantum simulation experiment: Study quantum many-body problems by performing experiments on quantum dot arrays. Realize programmable analog quantum simulators on intermediate-scale devices. Validate quantum simulators using Hamiltonian learning methods.
3) Spin-photon/phonon coupling: Couple spin states to microwave photon, optical photon and acoustic mode. This can be used as a mechanism for quantum transduction.

We welcome self-motivated PhD students, Master students, Bachelor students and research assistants to join our research team!
