Background
Ash Kumar joined JFI in January 2020 as postdoc in the labs of Prof. Jon Simon and Prof. Dave Schuster. He earned his Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University in Prof. David Weiss' group, where he worked on a 3D optical lattice based neutral atom quantum computing platform. He helped demonstrate high-fidelity single qubit gates, atom sorting and lossless state detection in this system. At Chicago, his work is focused on interfacing mm-wave and optical photons using Rydberg atoms in cavities.
