Zhongzhong Qin 秦忠忠
I am currently a Research Associate at the University of Texas at Dallas. My research interests lie broadly in the areas of quantum optics and quantum information. I have been investigating the most fundamental properties of light and atoms at submicroscopic levels, and how such properties can be harnessed for new science and technology. Thoroughly understanding and manipulating these fundamental properties of light and atoms enable unprecedented measurement precision and sensitivity, more secure information transmission, and astounding computing power.
