Jonathan D. Hood works on experimental and theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics, focusing on trapping and controlling individual atoms with laser light ('optical tweezers') and assembling them into single molecules for quantum science applications. His work also extends into related topics like photonic circuits made from molecular crystals and quantum electrodynamics theory. Prospective students would likely engage with precision laser cooling, single-particle imaging, and quantum control techniques applied to ultracold atoms and molecules.

Publication output has been variable but generally increasing over the past decade, with a notable surge in recent years (2023, 2025, and especially 2026) after a lull around 2020-2022.
