Research Interests
- (i)
- Cavity optomechanics: mechanical oscillators in quantum regime, formulation of dissipative quantum systems with feedback and measurements
- (ii)
- Ultracold quantum matters: quantum many-body theory, superfluidity of atomic gas, matter-wave control using Laguerre-Gaussian beams
- (iii)
- Quantum-classical correspondence: phase dynamics in Josephson junctions, coherent-state quantization
Experimental technique to prepare, measure, and control quantum systems has witnessed a significant development in recent decades. The quantum system we currently address includes mechanical oscillators that range from micro- to macroscopic size, and ultracold quantum-degenerate atoms under high-level control with the use of light. Our central interest lies in gaining a complete understanding of the quantum-classical correspondence of coherent phenomena by developing a quantum-classical interface theory that allows a full quantum treatment of coupled light-matter systems.
