Welcome!
We are a 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:

Full disclosure: some of these photos were taken back in August for summer seminar day.
7 October 2018
We put a paper on the arXiv describing some measurements of the rotational structure of the YbOH ground state. These measurements were performed at ASU in collaboration with Tim Steimle.
27 September 2018
We are now part of a collaboration funded by a DOE Basic Energy Sciences Quantum Information Research Award to explore molecules with multiple optical cycling centers for quantum information processing and storage.

We are officially a cold molecule lab!
YbOH absorption signal in the cell of a 3.8 K cryogenic buffer gas beam source. The small spike at the beginning is the nuclear magnetic quadrupole moment. Just kidding.
