Laboratory for Quantum Information with Trapped Ions

The Laboratory for Quantum Information with Trapped Ions (QITI) studies interaction between quantum degrees of freedom in a laser-cooled trapped ion system.

QITI aims to create a flexible quantum system, with control at the level of individual particles for studying problems in quantum many-body physics and computation.

Research performed in Professor Islam’s group is currently focused on the following:

  • Quantum simulation
  • QuantumION
  • Quantum simulation algorithms
