Kyung Soo Choi

At the University of Waterloo, his research focuses on building exotic quantum systems with strongly interacting atoms and light in the vicinity of nanoscopic structures and with ultracold Rydberg atoms. By applying advanced techniques in cold atom physics and quantum optics, he plans to utilize quantum dynamics at the level of single quanta to manipulate and examine highly entangled states of light and matter, and to build a foundation for new quantum optical materials at ultracold temperature quanta-by-quanta.
