Bio/Research

I study the theory of atoms cooled to nK temperatures. At these temperatures, the classical image of atoms as small billiard balls must be replaced by a quantum mechanical picture of wave-packets. Although I am focused on basic science questions, this research may impact applications in quantum computing, precision measurement, and navigation.
