Research summary
AI-generated

Shengwang Du works on experimental and theoretical quantum optics, focusing on how light and cold atoms interact to generate and manipulate quantum states of light such as photon pairs and squeezed light. This research supports emerging quantum technologies including quantum computing, quantum sensing, and precision measurement using atoms and atom-like systems (e.g., nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond). Prospective students would likely engage with topics spanning atomic physics experiments, nonlinear optics, and theoretical models of quantum information processing.
