Spin Dynamics at the Nanoscale

About our Research

 

We research magnetism and quantum information science in the solid state. We are interested in both fundamental phenomena and applications.  Current research includes:

  • Coupling spins to mechanical resonators to enable new forms of quantum control, quantum sensing, and hybrid quantum systems.
  • Quantum interactions between single spins and magnons to enable entanglement and quantum transduction.
  • Quantum magnonic systems composed of a superconducting circuit and low-damping magnons.
  • Quantum sensing of magnetic materials using NV centers.
  • New materials for Josephson junctions to enhance the functionality and robustness of superconducting quantum circuits.
  • The development of time-resolved scanning probe magneto-thermal microscopy as a tool for spintronics.
  • Antiferromagnetic spintronics.

*We have opportunities for graduate students and postdocs.
