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 offers application fee waivers for the Physics PhD program. See Admissions page for info. 

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