پژوهشگر ارشد
Lewis Picard is a David and Ellen Lee Postdoctoral Scholar Research Associate in Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), affiliated with the Division of Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy. His research focuses on quantum control of ultracold molecules using optical tweezers and trapping techniques, with emphasis on molecular qubits, dipolar interactions, and quantum simulation platforms. Key projects include extending rotational coherence times of polar molecules, developing optical tweezer arrays for single-molecule manipulation, and integrating Rydberg atoms into ultracold molecular systems. Research interests span quantum information science, atomic and molecular physics, and experimental techniques like photoassociation spectroscopy and magic polarization trapping. Notable contributions include entanglement protocols for molecular qubits, site-selective preparation of molecules in optical traps, and coherent creation of rovibrational ground-state molecules. His publications (2019–2025) emphasize experimental advances in trapping longevity, quantum state control, and hybrid quantum systems. Advising and grant activities are not explicitly detailed in available records. Picard’s work contributes to foundational research in quantum technologies and precision measurement science.
