4/14/2026: Happy World Quantum Day!
To celebrate, we’re highlighting the Quantum Technologies Training and Testbed (QT3) lab with a blog post and short video featuring Max Parsons, Kai-Mei Fu, and grad student and undergrad staff collaborators. Here’s a link to the story.
9/1/2025: QT3 is hiring a lab manager! View the role and apply here.
6/23/2025: Our paper, "An accessible planar charged particle trap for experiential learning in quantum technologies", has been published in the American Journal of Physics! See our video abstract below.
5/28/2024: Last Month, Robert Thomas showed off QT3's pollen trap to Congress and staffers on Capitol Hill in an event organized by the NSF. Read more about it here.
1/24/2024: Today, the first paper enabled by the QT3 lab, "Creation of color centers in diamond by recoil implantation through dielectric films", was published in Applied Physics Letters. Congrats to Asher Han and the rest of the team! This was a serendipitous discovery made while developing our process for fabricating solid immersion lenses in diamond.
10/16/2023: Enrique's work on the diamond quantum processor was featured in a showcase of UW College of Engineering summer research.

5/19/2023: QT3 undergrads present posters at UW's Undergradute Research Symposium. Chukwuemeka Mordi, Asher Han, Enrique Garcia, Robert Thomas and Isaac Fouch presented on "Hyperspectral Imaging Confocal Microscopy", "Designing and Building a Cryogenic Confocal Microscope for Quantum Computing", "Designing an Antenna for Microwave Control of Nitrogen-vacancy Center Spin States" and "An Inexpensive Demonstration of Ion Trapping for Undergraduates."

5/15/2023: Mount Vernon High School's Latinx Unidos con Honor y Amistad (L.U.C.H.A) stops by the QT3 lab on a field trip organized by the IMOD NSF Science and Technology Center. Here they got to speak to some current students and learn a bit about some of the quantum effects we can study with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond.

5/11/2023: We've introduced our quantum entanglement demonstrator as a lecture tool for quantum courses. Lecturers can remotely log into the setup in class to create and measure correlations between pairs of polarization-entangled photons. In the last several months, Prof. Deep Gupta and Dr. Max Parsons used the setup to demonstrate violation of Bell's inequality in Physics 325A and EE 528A, respectively.

4/6/2023: This week we had the pleasure of hosting NSF Director, Dr. Sethuraman Panchanthan, for a tour of the lab and a visit with students. "Panch" came to UW to discuss the role that UW and Washington state will play in the CHIPS and Science Act. The NSF press release features Enrique meeting Panch.
