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.
  • Discovery and study of quantum systems in 2D materials.
  • Quantum interactions between single spins and magnons to enable entanglement and quantum transduction.
  • Hybrid quantum systems composed of a superconducting circuit and low-damping magnons.
  • Quantum sensing of magnetic materials using a single-spin probe.
  • The development of time-resolved scanning probe magneto-thermal microscopy as a tool for spintronics.
  • Antiferromagnetic spintronics using magneto-thermal microscopy.
  • Chiral and topological magnetism.

*We have opportunities for graduate students and postdocs.
