Martin L. Perl Collegiate Professor of Physics
About
Professor Kuzmich investigates topics in atomic physics and quantum information. His research utilizes ultracold atoms and trapped ions suspended in ultrahigh vacuum using electromagnetic fields. His recent work includes the first realization of the quantum state transfer between matter and light and the first achievement of remote entanglement between matter qubits. He is currently interested in the collective Rydberg blockade and its applications to quantum many-body physics, scalable quantum networks based on long-lived quantum memories, and laser spectroscopy of the thorium nuclear isomer and its applications in precision frequency metrology and tests of fundamental physics.
