We explore quantum phenomena using lasers to prepare atoms and nearly absolute zero temperature and to control their interaction properties, in particular using their highly excited (Rydberg) states. We are especially interested in developing novel applications of ultracold quantum systems, including quantum simulation of exotic states of matter, non-equilibrium physics, quantum sensing, chemistry, biophysics and computing.
