I am a PhD student at JILA and Department of Physics, University of Colorado Boulder, working with Prof. Shuo Sun. I am interested in quantum optics, nanophotonics, atomic physics, and quantum information science and technology. Specifically, I explore light-matter interactions in quantum limit, generation of exotic entangled states for understanding of fundamental quantum physics and applications to quantum information.
