Congratulations: Jay

May 6, 2024

I'm happy to announce that Jieqiu Shao has just passed his PhD defense. Dr. Shao took an enourmous risk when he committed to our project on our Shaken Lattice Interferometry project, as neither of us had any background in quantum physics and there was a real possibility that nothing would...

Farewell: Daan

Dec. 15, 2023

Three months really flew by, but Daan was able to learn everything he needed to code up a Q-PRONTO wrapper for open quantum systems. In addition, he also ran all around the Flatirons (which was his primary goal for coming to Boulder). I hope you enjoyed your stay!

Welcome: Daan

Sept. 5, 2023

With Covid-19 behind us, it's finally time to reopen university boarders and host incoming exchange students. With that in mind I'm very pleased to welcome Daan van der Velden into the ROCC Team. Daan will be in Boulder for three months, during which he'll work on the desing of Optimal...

Welcome: Jasleen

Aug. 22, 2022

As the ROCC lab continues to dip its toes into quantum control, I am happy to welcome Jasleen Batra as our new Undergraduate Research Student. Jasleen will help the transition our Quantum Control research from theory to practice by implementing the proposed control law on an FPGA in András Gyenis...

Welcome: Mantas

Jan. 10, 2022

It is my pleasure to welcome Mantas Naris into the ROCC group, sort of... By all intents and purposes, Mantas is a full-fledged member of the Bio-inspired Perception and Robotics Lab here at CU Boulder, where he is currently pursuing his PhD. However, Mantas appears to have enough leftover energy...

Welcome: Marco

Jay's master thesis focused on the Control of Optical Atomic Lattices for Quantum Inertial Sensing , and he will be continuing this line of research as part of his Ph.D. With this achievement, Jay has...

Congratulations: Anne

May 15, 2020

Please join me in congratulating Anne Cross Theurkauf on receiving her M.S. degree in Aerospace Engineering. Anne's master thesis focused on the Control of Optical Atomic Lattices for Quantum Inertial Sensing , and she demonstrated great passion, independence, and expertise every step of the way. Working with Anne has been...

Welcome: Anne

Jan. 15, 2020

I'm pleased to welcome Anne Cross Theurkauf as the newest member of the ROCC Lab. Anne is a MS student working under the supervision of Prof. Penina Axelrad and has proven to be a vital team member in the Control of Optical Lattices for Quantum Inertial Sensing project. Starting next...

Welcome: Jay

Sept. 9, 2019

It is my pleasure to welcome Jieqiu Shao , or Jay, as the newest member of the ROCC lab. Jay approached me at the end of last semester, asking if he could work on a summer project for the control or an UAV carrying a suspended load. After three months...
