Chip-Based Laser Cooling Systems

Our team pioneers the integration of photonics into systems that trap and manipulate neutral atoms. This includes photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that deliver beams for 3D magneto-optical traps (MOTs), cooling and trapping over a million rubidium atoms on-chip. We’re enabling scalable platforms for atom-based quantum information and control.
