Overview of Academic Research
Prof. Rui’s research interest is the quantum computation and quantum simulation with ultracold atoms, polar molecules, and Rydberg atoms in optical lattices or tweezer arrays, for resolving the outstanding challenges in programmable control of many-body quantum systems, fault-tolerant architectures, and their physical implementations.
His/her major achievements include:
* Quantum association and chemistry with ultracold heteronuclear molecules
Observed exchange reactions with Feshbach molecules and resolved their full products, highly efficient quantum association of polyatomic ultracold molcules
* Quantum phenomena in long-range interacting many-body systems
Synthesized efficient optical mirror with a monolayer 2d array of single-atoms in optical lattices based on the dipolar interaction between optical dipoles, associated the largest diatomic molecule (Rydberg macrodimer) and in-situ observation of the quantum interference in their photo-associations, managed to observe distance-selective interaction between ground-state atoms based on Rydberg dressing to the macrodimer states.
Research Directions/Fields:
Quantum simulation with ultracold polar molecules in optical lattices
Quantum simulation and computation with Strontium tweezer arrays
Simulation of strongly correlated many-body systems
