Research Description
Synthesizing quantum materials with fully controlled constituent particles, tailored geometry, and engineered interactions represents an exciting frontier in quantum science. Chen-Lung Hung’s research explores how two-dimensional atom arrays interacting with two-dimensional photonic crystals can give rise to a new form of quantum matter composed of atomic and photonic hybrid lattices. His approach involves coupling trapped atoms to photonic crystal circuits, fabricated using lithographic techniques similar to those used in semiconductor manufacturing. This research investigates how arrays of atomic qubits interact with photonic crystals to develop quantum correlations and topological properties that may be inaccessible in conventional quantum materials. Furthermore, the techniques being developed could enable new ways to store quantum light in atoms and new schemes for quantum computing.
Research Impact
Dr. Hung’s research will advance atomic, optical, and quantum physics by developing chip-integrated quantum systems built from atom arrays and photonic circuits. His team is developing new methods for creating complex quantum matter on photonic platforms, enabling scalable architectures for quantum simulation, sensing, and computation. Hung’s work can open pathways for portable quantum devices and hybrid quantum processors with enhanced quantum information capabilities.
