## **RESEARCH OVERVIEW**

Our experiments are motivated not only to understand underlying physics but also to apply established physics to scientific environments. In particular, we have had great success in developing metrology tools based on novel physical phenomena. Using this principle we have built systems capable of extremely sensitive charge detection as well nanoscale magnetic field sensors. These sensors allow us to probe new physics.

**Research interests including:**

- Spin Qubits
- Topo QED
- NV centers in diamonds
- Layered materials

And we are actively exploring the interplay between them.
