Natasha Willis and Daniel Julien-Nietzert join the group for the Winter term as undergraduate co-op students. Welcome to the team!

Dr. Manas Sajjan joins the group for a graduate school in experimental quantum physics, after successfully completing his first PhD at University of Chicago in theoretical chemistry!

Rajibul gives the ‘experimentalist of the week’ talk at the Dynamics of Quantum Information program at KITP, UC Santa Barbara. [Video]

Our experimentally feasible theoretical proposal to create 2D spin lattices from a one dimensional chain of ions is on arXiv! It is a collaboration with UC Berkeley and Army Research Laboratory. (arXiv.1808.06124).

Undergraduate researcher Nikolay Videnov presents his work on making an injection locked diode laser at 369.5 nm at the Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference (CUPC) at University of Alberta.

Sainath defends his M.Sc thesis successfully! He will continue as a PhD student in the group. Congratulations, Sainath!

Gilbert, Sainath, Nikhil, and Rajibul attend the annual meeting of the Division of Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics (DAMOP) of the American Physical Society (APS) in Fort Lauderdale. We present two posters.

Dr. Roland Hablutzel joins the QITI team as a postdoc from the Centre for Quantum Technologies, Singapore. We also welcome undergraduate researcher Yi Hong Teoh!

Entire QITI team visits McMaster University to attend the first Toronto Ultracold Atoms Network (TUCAN) meeting. Fereshteh and Sainath give talks.

Undergraduate researcher Kaleb Ruscitti presents our research on holographic beam shaping with UV light at the PhUnC conference at Western University.

Sainath Motlakunta joins the group to work on his M.Sc thesis project. Kaleb Ruscitti and Nikolay Videnov come back to the group as undergraduate researchers! Kaleb will spend his Jan-Apr co-op term, and Nik will spend his Jan-Aug co-op term in the lab!

Chung-You (Gilbert) Shih from National Taiwan University and Nikhil Kotibhaskar from Indian Institute of Science join the IQC-QITI group as graduate students.

We move into a temporary laboratory space on the third floor of the Quantum Nano Center! Our basement lab will undergo a major renovation before we can move into the space.

Dr. Fereshteh Rajabi joins the group as an IQC theory postdoc!

Tony Kappen and Kaleb Ruscitti join as the first two undergraduate researchers of the group!
