The Katz Lab explores quantum hardware using trapped ions, atoms, photons, and phonons to build quantum processors for solving complex problems. Research spans quantum computation, simulation, and precision sensing. Key areas include developing large ion crystals for exponentially growing computational space, engineering quantum entanglement for efficient computation, and creating quantum sensors for applications from atomic-scale chemistry to dark matter detection.
Dr. Katz's recent publications (2022-2023) in top journals like Nature and Nature Physics focus on trapped-ion quantum systems. His work demonstrates multi-body interactions in ion spins, quantum logic for atom-ion collisions, symmetry breaking in spin chains, and programmable bosonic simulations. These studies advance quantum computing, simulation of many-body physics, and quantum sensing, highlighting trapped ions as a leading platform for quantum information processing.

The Katz Lab, established at Cornell University in 2024, constructs large crystals of trapped ions for quantum computation and simulation. The lab also studies hybrid systems of ultracold neutral and charged atoms, and develops dense atomic ensembles for quantum sensing. Recent milestones include trapping the first Barium ion in November 2024.
