The group specializes in using color centers in diamond as quantum sensors to study nanoscale magnetic phenomena in physical, chemical, and biological systems. Their model qubit system is the Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) center in diamond which offers a unique combination of high-fidelity optical detection and long spin coherence times at room temperature. The group currently consists of 6 graduate students and two postdocs.
QU-REACH Project. One or two QU-REACH students will work on an ongoing quantum sensing project aimed at performing quantum control on single NV centers and using them to detect magnetic fields. These experiments present a number of impressive spectroscopy, imaging, and spin physics challenges, which make for an exciting learning opportunity for undergraduate students working within a broader team.
What the Students Will Do. The students will develop methods for performing quantum control on single NV centers (confocal microscopy, Rabi/Ramsey/Hahn-echo spectroscopy) and use these methods to sense the magnetic environment of single spins. Together with graduate students, they will optimize the performance of the diamond magnetic microscope and work towards detecting magnetic phenomena in superconductors, 2D magnetic materials, and magnetic nanoparticles. The students will gain experience in quantum sensing and spin physics theory, optical breadboarding, experimental control (LabVIEW), data analysis (Mathematica, MatLab, and/or Python), and communicating results (presentations at group meetings).

2. Quantum chemistry
Supervisor: Prof. Susan Atlas (Chemistry & Chemical Biology), Lab Webpage.
Research Overview. Prof. Atlas’ lab conducts research in theoretical and computational chemical physics, aimed at understanding complex systems through a combination of formal theory, novel algorithms, and multiscale modeling. Ongoing research projects include the development of ensemble charge-transfer potentials for atomistic simulation; density functional theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations and machine learning methods for modeling high-entropy materials; kinetic modeling of proteins; and the application of DFT-based atom-in-molecule methods for encapsulating electron correlation effects in molecules.
QU-REACH Project. QU-REACH students will work on an ongoing project to implement density functional theory (DFT) electronic structure calculations on current-generation “noisy intermediate scale quantum” [NISQ] computers such as the IBM Quantum System One. DFT bypasses the need to solve the Schrödinger equation for the complicated many-electron wavefunction Ψ, by re-expressing the electronic structure problem in terms of a much simpler set of coupled one-electron equations for the electron density ρ. All of the underlying complexity of the quantum mechanical interactions between electrons is encoded within a “universal exchange-correlation functional”, Exc[ρ] entering the single-particle equations. The goal of this project is to explore alternative models of Exc[ρ], and determine whether the DFT formulation of quantum mechanics can provide both improved accuracy and greater robustness to noise in computing the ground state energies of molecules on quantum computers.
What the Students Will Do. Students will perform reference electronic structure calculations using different families of exchange-correlation functionals and Schrödinger equation-based quantum chemistry methods on the Xena GPU supercomputing cluster at the UNM Center for Advanced Research Computing (CARC). Corresponding computational experiments with the same functionals and quantum chemistry methods will be performed on quantum computers. The calculations will utilize existing variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) routines written in the Python-based Qiskit and PySCF electronic structure codes. The objective is to compare classical and quantum computer performance for NISQ systems with varying topologies and noise characteristics.
Supervision. The students will be supervised through frequent 1-1 and weekly group meetings with Prof. Atlas, and real-time interactions over the project Slack channel.

13. Measuring Positions and Separations of Single Molecules at the Quantum Limit
Supervisor: Prof. Keith Lidke (Physics & Astronomy), Lab Webpage.
Research Overview. Measuring positions and separation distances are fundamental to many scientific disciplines such as astronomy and microscopy. Many mechanisms involved in the functioning of a biological cell are still poorly understood because they involve interactions at the nanometer scale - about two orders of magnitude below the diffraction limit of light microscopy. The Lidke ground develops new experimental and computational approaches for accessing this length scale. One method involves tagging cellular components with fluorescence molecules, which allows the concepts and approaches of quantum metrology for measuring positions and separations to be applied to biological systems at the subcellular level.
QU-REACH Project. A QU-REACH student will contribute to an ongoing imaging project that applies the quantum- optimal method of Super-Localization by Image inVERsion (SLIVER) to single molecule imaging. This project combines aspects of interferometry, phase stabilization, detection of light down to the single photon level, and both quantum and classical estimation theory.

The student will learn basic concepts of (quantum) metrology including the (quantum) Cramer-Rao Bound, learn to use a microscope system designed for imaging single molecules, help align and characterize an interferometer and perform corresponding data analyses in MATLAB, Python, or Julia. The student will learn to use a standard fluorescence microscope and the technique of Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM). For a student interested in a more computationally-focussed project, there is opportunity to build a digital twin of the experimental system in order to study potential sources of noise and aberrations.
