Recent Publications
Observation of a finite-energy phase transition in a one-dimensional quantum simulator
Journal Article Nature Physics · March 1, 2025 Equilibrium phase transitions in many-body systems have been predicted and observed in two and three spatial dimensions but have long been thought not to exist in one-dimensional systems. It was suggested that a phase transition in one dimension can occur ... Full text CiteHigh-fidelity remote entanglement of trapped atoms mediated by time-bin photons.
Journal Article Nature communications · March 2025 Photonic interconnects between quantum processing nodes are likely the only way to achieve large-scale quantum computers and networks. The bottleneck in such an architecture is the interface between well-isolated quantum memories and flying photons. We est ...

Journal Article Physical review letters · August 2024 We entangle two cotrapped atomic barium ion qubits by collecting single visible photons from each ion through in vacuo 0.8 NA objectives, interfering them through an integrated fiber beam splitter and detecting them in coincidence. This projects the qubits ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
