Welcome!
We are a relatively new lab at Caltech that uses lasers to control atoms and molecules for table-top experiments in fundamental nuclear and particle physics, by using and developing techniques that also have applications to quantum information, computation, and many-body systems. There are openings for research positions and internships at all levels - undergraduate, masters, graduate, and post-doc.
If you want to know about (or already know about!) any of the following, then we definitely have something for you to work on, and you should get in touch
We are extremely grateful to receive support from the following sources: Student research fellowships supported by: SURF Fellowships: Bill Davis James C. Whitney WAVE Fellowships: Student awards:

SURF Seminar Day!
 2018 SURFers @ Caltech - Camilla, Emily, Claire, and David. Alicia was at Yale with the DeMille Group.
     Full disclosure: some of these photos were taken back in August for summer seminar day.
8 August 2018 We were featured in Pasadena Outlook for our part in helping the Chandler School take a journey to space (without leaving the comfortable confines of Caltech...)  Pasadena Outlook, 9 August 2019 (click for larger version) 31 July 2018
