Shuo Sun is an associate fellow of JILA and an assistant professor of the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. He obtained his BS in 2011 from Zhejiang University, China, and obtained his MS and PhD in 2015 and 2016 from the University of Maryland, College park. During his PhD, he developed the first spin-photon quantum switch and the first single-photon transistor using a solid-state spin. Before joining the faculty of JILA and the University of Colorado Boulder in 2020, Dr.
Deterministic generation of nonclassical state of light
Our group aims to develop new schemes and devices for deterministic generation of nonclassical light based on cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED).
Photon-mediated entanglement distribution and many-body interactions
Our research group is actively dedicated to developing novel schemes and devices specifically designed to enable efficient, rapid, and high-fidelity entanglement distribution and many-body interactions among solid-state spins.
Quantum control and noise spectroscopy
In this research endeavor, our primary objective is to develop new noise spectroscopy techniques that enables more accurate and efficient characterization of the frequency-dependent spin-environment coupling, and to develop advanced quantum control methodologies for better noise mitigation.
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.
