QUANTUM SIMULATION USING ULTRA-COLD ATOMS
Professor DeMarco's research program concentrates on working toward resolving outstanding questions regarding many-body quantum mechanics by realizing quantum simulation using ultra-cold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. The professor and his team will complete and test the experimental tools required for this research, and explore the technical limitations of various methods for quantum simulation in this system.
