Title
Quantum Science in Cavity Arrays
Abstract
In this talk I will discuss ongoing efforts in the Simon-Schuster collaboration at Stanford that leverage arrays of optical and microwave resonators for quantum science. On the microwave side, I will describe our Bose-Hubbard circuit platform and share experimental work assembling and studying liquids and solids of photons, culminating in our demonstration of many body Ramsey spectroscopy as a probe of chemical potential and pressure in photon fluids. On the optical side, I will introduce our recently developed cavity array microscope as a tool for efficient parallelized light collection from atom arrays, and our RIPA Mega-FPS spatial light modulator for fast control of atom-arrays.
Bio
Jon grew up fascinated with electronics, programming, simulating the world, and soccer. He went to Montgomery Blair for highschool, where he was captain of the game programming club and the chess team. As an undergraduate at Caltech, he led the Beavers to a 1-63 record (seriously-we were terrible) over his 3 seasons on the NCM DIII soccer team, all while learning physics and building electronics. As a graduate student and postdoc at MIT & Harvard, Jon focused primarily on cavity QED and synthetic quantum matter in optical lattices, while achieving the distinction of coming in dead last in the Head of the Charles Regatta Club 8's. On weekends he kitesurfed on the cape.
Jon's passions for light, simulation, and circuits have combined in the study of quantum & classical matter made of light. In his spare time he grapples, flies drones, and trains his cat Emmy to perform tricks.
