We hosted a lab tour for the student-lead, ASU-wide Quantum Club. In over two hours, A group of 10+ students explored our lab infrastructure in great depth, asked fantastic questions, and watched the acquisition of an ODMR spectrum using glowing diamonds in real time. These guests come from a diverse background -- engineering, biochemistry, statistics, and economics! Avneet was the lead organizer, and Rolando performed those cool live demos.

An ASU News article, written by David Rozul, reported our "nanoparticle-assisted NMR spin relaxation (NASR)" methodology, which allows researchers to study protein internal motions happening in a wide range of timescales from picoseconds all the way up to microseconds, including the nanosecond-to-microsecond dynamics that were previously inaccessible. The detailed steps to conduct NASR, now proved robust and easy to carry out, has been recently pulished as a protocol paper in Nature Protocols.

Feburary 2025
We are making progress in setting up one of the NV sensing platforms. The primary driving forces behind the instrumentation of this confocal system are physics Ph.D. student Rolando and three undergraduate researchers Avneet (ECE), Noah (physics), and Taneesha (ME)!
January 2025
We welcome Taneesha Kapadia, an undergraduate researcher from The ASU Barrett Honors College majoring Mechanical Engineering, to join the EQuBS lab working on the NV instrumentation and more!
December 2024
The EQuBS lab organized a 2-day bootcamp on December 11 and 12. We discussed very technical details about microscope instrumentation and qubit operation using a tutorial format in the mornings, and went inside the lab for hands-on demonstrations.
During the hands-on sessions, we coupled a 520 nm solid-state diode laser into a single-mode fiber, and observed a clear filtering effect that the outcome beam profile was almost a perfect Gaussian. We also built an actual bright-field microscope using modular optics.
In addition to the scientific portion, we also had some group activities including a group lunch at Postino Annex and rock climbing experience at Bouldering Project - Tempe.

Mouzhe delivered a talk at AZ Photonics Days 2024 in Tucson, and had many intriguing conversations with colleagues at University of Arizona and the optical industry partners.
November 2023
Mouzhe joined the steering committee of the "Quantum Sensing and Metrology" division at the Quantum Collabroative. The Quantum Collaborative at ASU connects top scientific programs, initiatives, facilities, leading Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST) talent, and prominent industry partners to advance the science and engineering of quantum information science, train the quantum workforce of tomorrow, and drive U.S. quantum economic advantage. The Quantum Collaborative is powered by the State of Arizona and our partners.
October 2023
Did some measurements in the EQuBS lab spaces. Look forward to the completion of the customized modifications.
