معرفی
Loïc Anderegg is an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southern California (USC), leading the AMO physics group in the Department of Physics. His work focuses on experimental quantum science using laser-cooled molecules to advance quantum information processing, quantum sensing, and ultracold chemistry. Key research areas include trapping polyatomic molecules like CaF and CaNH₂ using optical tweezers, exploring hybrid systems for molecular qubits, and precision measurements of many-body quantum systems.
Education: PhD in Physics from Harvard University (2019), B.A. in Physics from UC Berkeley (2014). Postdoctoral training at the Harvard Quantum Initiative (2019–2023).
Research Highlights: Pioneering laser cooling of asymmetric-top molecules (e.g., CaNH₂ in collaboration with the Doyle Group at Harvard), developing optical tweezer arrays for quantum simulations, and advancing magneto-optical trapping techniques for polyatomic molecules. His work bridges fundamental physics with applied quantum technologies.
- Awards: Deborah Jin Award (2021) for doctoral research on ultracold molecules.
- Lab Team: Mentors graduate students (Kaiya Wilson, Ebram Youssef) and undergraduates (Reilly Brislawn, Avani Lakkireddy, Kun Liu, Aaron Teo, Phoebe Turner).
- Recent Milestones: Lab moved to USC in 2024, expanding capabilities in ultracold molecule manipulation.
