Acosta Lab at UNM

Welcome to the webpage of the Acosta Lab at University of New Mexico's Center for High Technology Materials. Our research lies at the intersection of experimental atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, condensed-matter physics, quantum information science, and biomedical imaging. We specialize in using color centers in diamond as quantum sensors to study magnetic phenomena in physical, chemical, and biological systems. 

Postdocs and students interested in our research may contact Victor Acosta, vmacosta@unm.edu. 

Prospective PhD students: check out the QPAQT program. Successful applicants may also receive an AMO Fellowship. 

Prospective undergrad researchers: check out the QU-REACH program.

Grad Application Fee Waivers. The UNM Dept. of Physics & Astronomy is offering application fee waivers to applicants submitting to the Physics PhD program. A fee waiver request is available to applicants with primary interest in Experimental AMO, Biophysics, Condensed Matter, or Quantum information. See Admissions page for info. 

We are located at CHTM, 1313 Goddard st. SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106. Labs: 159B, 171A, 173C. Office: 115A
