People Profiles

Paul Hess

Paul Hess is a postdoctoral fellow at JQI. He received his undergraduate degree in astrophysics at Williams College and went on to get his PhD in physics at Harvard University. There, he worked on precision measurement experiments that searched for the electric dipole moment of electrons bound to thorium oxide molecules. At JQI, as part of Chris Monroe’s trapped ion team, his work revolves around examining complex many body systems. He has studied many-body localization and is currently working on an experiment that would simulate quantum solids with an increased number of trapped ions.
Zachary Eldredge

Zachary Eldredge, a PhD student at JQI and QuICS, received undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics from the University of Oklahoma. At JQI, he has studied the emergence of a self-organized structure in atoms near a nanofiber, working closely with Luis Orozco’s to investigate nanofiber platforms and cold atom physics. Now, he works with Alexey Gorshkov and studies the physics of long-range quantum information and quantum networks.
Elizabeth Goldschmidt

Elizabeth Goldschmidt recently joined the quantum information science group at the Army Research Laboratory. She earned an undergraduate degree in physics at Harvard University. After, she went on to earn a PhD at JQI, where as part of Alan Migdall's research group, she worked on quantum memory and single photon technologies. She then received a National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at NIST to work with Trey Porto on simulating condensed matter systems with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices. In her position at the Army Research Lab, she is starting a new experimental research program focused on quantum memory and quantum information in solid-state materials.
Michael Foss-Feig

Michael Foss-Feig is a JQI postdoctoral scientist. As an undergraduate at Amherst College, Michael performed some experimental work in solid-state physics with professor Jonathan Friedman. He, then, went to University of Colorado where he received a physics PhD in October 2012. His thesis, prepared under the supervision of Ana Maria Rey, was entitled “Quantum simulation of many-body physics with neutral atoms, molecules and ions.” This work earned him the DAMOP Thesis Prize in June 2013. Now a NRC postdoctoral fellow at NIST working under Charles Clark, Michael’s interests are centered around many-body physics with ultracold atomic, molecular, and optical systems. He also studies long-range interacting systems, such as trapped ions, ultracold dipolar molecules, and Rydberg atoms.
Alexander Craddock

Alexander Craddock is a PhD student at JQI who earned a Bachelor and Master degree in physics at University College London. As an undergraduate student, he studied whether a commercial device from D-Wave behaved like a quantum computer. After doing master’s work in high-energy physics, his focus shifted back to quantum information. Now he works in Steve Rolston and Trey Porto’s interacting photons group which hopes to one day develop a quantum repeater, a device to allow long distance quantum communication, using Rydberg atoms.
Crystal Senko

Crystal Senko was a graduate student in Chris Monroe's ion trapping group. While in the group she focused on ultrafast spin manipulation as well as quantum simulation of magnetism. She is now a postdoctoral researcher with Mikhail Lukin at Harvard. Senko is an undergraduate alumni of Duke University, where she worked with Dan Gauthier on magneto-optical trapping using distributed feedback lasers.
