About us

 

Innovative technologies have a history of capitalizing on the discovery of new materials and novel physical phenomena associated with them. In order to better understand and control the properties of quantum materials so we can use them to our advantage, we must develop experimental tools to probe and manipulate electrons and their interactions at the atomic scale. Our research seeks to understand the fundamental properties of materials by using scanning probe microscopy to visualize the structure and electronic properties of quantum matter at the scale of individual atoms. This will enable next-generation quantum technologies such as powerful computers and unhackable communications.
