Hannes Bernien Labs
Quantum Science and Technology Atom-by-Atom
In a collaborative effort spanning three countries the Bernien group, Tittel group and Borregaard group propose a new hybrid quantum repeater architecture that could drastically improve the speed in a quantum network. The architecture pairs the multimode capabilities of a rare-earth ion doped quantum memory with individual atoms coupled to nanophotonic crystal cavities for the rapid generation of entangled photon pairs.
The Klung Wilhemly Science Award is awarded biannually to a outstanding early-career German physicists. This year Hannes received the award for his “pioneering contributions to the development of quantum technology platforms based on Rydberg atoms as well as color centers in diamond”.
Check out our new work on combining atom arrays with photonic chips on arXiv. We show atom array technology such as loading large tweezer arrays, single-shot fluorescence images, and rearrangement works in combination with photonic chips.
The BernienLab is growing and we are very excited to welcome the latest additions: Nayana Tiwari is joining from CalPoly as a PhD in the quantum network lab, Nikhil Harle is joining from Yale the new dual-species atom array setup, and Ana Lucia Michielsen is a UChicago undergraduate research on the new dual-species array. We are very much looking forward to working together and doing amazing science! Welcome!
Kevin Singh and Yu-Hao Deng of the BernienLab are both awardees of the 2023 Quantum Creators Prize. The prize recognizes ground-breaking achievements of early career researchers. As part of the prize, Kevin and Yu-Hao will present their research at the Chicago Quantum Summit. Congratulations, Kevin and Yu-Hao!
