研究概述

Beginning in January 2025, Dr. Shayne Bennetts joined IAMS. His research group focuses on two main directions. The first research direction is hybrid atom– nanophotonics, aiming to develop a globally unique experimental platform for quantum information processing and quantum metamaterials. This platform will combine arrays of quantum processors based on ultracold ytterbium atoms, where each processor features individual control and readout, interconnected by nanophotonic quantum information "buses". High single-atom cooperativity, rich atomic level structure, and clock-state qubits make ytterbium particularly attractive for nanophotonic quantum technologies. This platform will offer capabilities unmatched worldwide and will be compatible with the rapidly developing field of neutral-atom ytterbium quantum computing. The experimental efforts of Dr. Bennetts' group will benefit from close collaboration with the theoretical quantum optics group led by Dr. Hsiang-Hua Jen, as well as with related research groups in Taiwan. The long-term vision is to integrate neutral-atom quantum technologies with Taiwan's expertise in nanophotonic chip fabrication to develop advanced quantum information processors. The second research direction builds on Dr. Bennetts' previous partnership with Dr. Chun-Chia Chen, which demonstrated continuous Bose–Einstein condensation and his subsequent work on superradiant optical clocks. By combining the natural advantages of ytterbium with our earlier development of continuous high-phase-space-density atomic sources, this effort aims to demonstrate the world’s first continuous active optical clock. Such a clock could fundamentally transform the portability and bandwidth of optical clocks and precision sensing and eliminate the need for an ultrastable reference cavity. This research continues the decade long partnership with Dr. Chen's quantum metrology group developing continuous cold atom technology for quantum sensing and quantum information applications.
