Alberto AlonsoPost-DocAfter working on antimatter spectroscopy with positronium atoms during my PhD, I am now interested in learning more about the extreme fidelity and control that can be attained with ion traps by manipulating single ions at a time, as well as the implications for fundamental physics and technological applications. I also enjoy playing boardgames, hiking, and videogames when I'm not in the lab. |

Sumanta KhanPost-DocAfter working with quantum optics experiments using vapor cells during my PhD, I am really excited to work on quantum information processing experiments using trapped ions. I am working on simulating a quantum system with trapped ions. Outside of the lab, I like roaming around the bay area, travelling, cooking, listening to music and watching TV series. |

Joseph BrozGrad StudentIn Hartmut's lab I work with the only, legacy, 3D ion trap. The technical challenges are somewhat reduced from on-chip traps and so I am able to focus a little big more on the quantum information side of our research. I'm particularly interested in exploring the nontrivial and often nonintuitive dynamics that can arise in modestly sized but very precisely controlled and manipulated atomic systems.Outisde of the lab I enjoy boxing for the Berkeley team, trail running and walking my dog Lia! |

Neil GlikinGrad StudentI love being able to see the effects of quantum mechanics on a tabletop, as well as just learning and discovering how the universe works. I enjoy exploring the bay area, video games, and making lists. |

Nicole GreeneGrad StudentHaving previously worked on the local Lorentz invariance experiment, I now spend my time designing an apparatus that will soon shuttle and entangle large chains of ions. Outside the lab I enjoy exploring San Francisco, watching films, and skiing. |

Ryan ShafferGrad StudentI spent several years programming classical computers before coming to Berkeley to study quantum computers. I'm most interested in the intersection of computer science with quantum information, and how to realize this in physical systems. I also enjoy some human things, like playing basketball, cooking, and traveling. |

Qian YuGrad StudentI'm interested in the physical realization of quantum computation and techniques of ion trapping, and I like to explore the quantum dynamics of strongly interacting systems including coherent evolution and decoherence. Outside the lab I like traveling, reading, cooking and playing board games. |

Shuqi XuGrad StudentMy research interests lie in tackling challenges towards scalable trapped ion quantum computers, as well as the emergent physics revealed in such quantum system. When not in the lab, I enjoy traveling, playing video games, watching and playing soccer. |
