An Atomic Game of Duck, Duck, Goose

Selected atoms (green) within doubly occupied sites of a 2D "Fermi Sea" are excited by a polarized laser pulse. Pauli blocking prevents decay of the excited atoms (red) as they can only decay into unoccupied sites (black).

Running in a Quantum Corn Maze and Getting Stuck in the Dark

Comparison of 2-level and 6-level atom decay paths. For 6-level systems, each state can potentially decay into several states and some of them might be dark due to destructive interference.

A Magic Recipe for a Quantum Interferometer

A comparison of two optical cavities, with the left cavity having only localized atoms and no squeezing. In contrast, the right cavity depicts delocalized atoms, squeezing and entanglement.

I obtained my M.Phil (Electronics) at Quaid-i-Azam university, Pakistan. I further obtained my PhD (Physics) degree under the supervisions of Prof. José Tito Mendonça and Dr. Hugo Tercas in 2021 at Instituto Superior Técnico, university of Lisbon, Portugal. I also worked as a visiting PhD student in the group of Prof. Maciej Lewenstein at ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain.
