Paper from project: Published in APS Physical Review A 15 February 2022
Lead graduate student spearheading project which combines the high fidelty gate performance of trapped ion qubits as well as the scalability of superconducting quantum bits in a single quantum computing platform. This project is a UC-wide collaboration as well as with Lawerence Livermore National Lab, each university is implementing different aspects of this project in their labs. In particular, we are utilizing LLNL's 3D printer to obtain small structures where our electrons will be trapped.

Paper from project: Published in APS Physical Review A
Laser cool and trap AlCl molecules to probe novel physics and explore quantum dynamics of molecules. My primary duties included building and setting up the red to blue laser system including building a second-harmonic-generation (SHG) cavity. Additionally, I would build and design necessary electronics and integrate the data acquisition system to build the experiment.

Hamilton Research Group UCLA - Precision Force Sensor (undergraduate)
In the Hamilton research group, I have aided in an experiment which uses Bloch oscillations as a way to precisely measure external forces which do not fit the standard model. This experiment is one that uses an optical cavity and magnetic fields to laser cool ytterbium and search for properties of dark matter and dark energy. To assist, I have spent most of my time testing and designing a new nozzle for an atomic beam and building electronics to aid in laser locking, switching, as well as a noise reducing laser enclosure to help decrease temperature fluctuations that effect the experiment.

Nozzle Design for the Creation of an Atomic Beam
Nozzle Design for the Creation of an Atomic Beam
Improved nozzle design for neutral ytterbium oven beam source for ytterbium atoms trapped in a magneto-optical-trap (MOT). This is where the heaters are and the actual oven that I used. The nozzle I attached is shown to the left, it consisted of 412 stainless steel tubes stacked in a triangular formation. The nozzle was made by using an edm machine to cut a triangle out of a blank CF flange. The actual triangle is the size of my thumb, and all of it was stacked and prepared for ultra-high vacuum (UHV)
I then attached the the oven source to a test vacuum chamber where I shown purple laser light where I measured flourscence and absorption of the Ytterbium. Full detailed writeup and explanation here: Modified Nozzle Design for Increase in Flux of an Ytterbium MOT
