Hi everyone, this is Yefeng Mei, a postdoctoral research fellow in Professor Alex Kuzmich's group at the University of Michigan. My area of research is in experimental atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics. We currently utilize trapped neutral atoms and their highly excited Rydberg states to explore quantum information science and many-body physics. Prior to that, I received my Ph.D. degree from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where I investigated energy-time entangled photons, nonlinear and non-hermitian optics in cold atoms. My long-term objectives would be developing new techniques, as well as studying fundamental physical phenomena and their unique applications in the fields of quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum information science.
