Kaizhao Wang
Kaizhao rejoined the group as a graduate student after he finished his master's degree in Quantum Engineering at ETH Zurich and bachelor's degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing. His interest in quantum information processing started when he was a visiting student at Oxford during his bachelor's degree. After returning to Beijing, he joined the group of Prof. Kihwan Kim for a theoretical project searching for fast multi-qubit gates for trapped-ions systems. During his master's degree, he visited the Kaufman group as an intern, working on a method to stabilize laser pulse area in fast pulses. In his thesis in Prof. Jonathan Home’s group at ETH, he designed and built a test setup to individually address atoms trapped in optical tweezer arrays. Now at JILA, he will work on a brand new cryogenic Lithium quantum gas microscope in collaboration with Prof. Cindy Regal.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
