Quantum coherence can manifest in an isolated two-level qubit, OR in the collective emergent states. While the former can be modelled by a simple Hamiltonian, characterizing emergent states poses a significant challenge, particularly when the collective modes involve degrees of freedom beyond charge (e.g., spin and orbital). How can we synthesize and discern the subtle emergent quantum coherence across multiple degrees of freedom?
The Quantum Sensing and Materials (Q-SiM) lab at Rutgers will seek topology and correlation in programable quantum materials, and develop new qubit-based sensing capabilities. We will intersect condensed matter and quantum information to find new pathways towards next-gen quantum technology.
The Chen lab is assembling a team of motivated graduate students and postdocs!
