Xueyue (Sherry) Zhang and her lab leverage the unique advantages of qubit-photon interactions to advance the frontiers of quantum science and technology. They focus on introducing new capabilities, such as high levels of connectivity, into superconducting circuits and solid-state spin platforms by integrating these qubits with microwave waveguides and silicon photonics. This foundation enables the Zhang lab to explore novel possibilities in basic science, such as many-body quantum simulation and quantum topological photonics, as well as pushing the boundaries of quantum computing and networking technologies.
Research Interests
Quantum devices and their applications, superconducting qubits, solid state spins, quantum light-matter interaction, metamaterials, quantum many-body dynamics, topological photonics, quantum information, quantum networking.Links
Group websiteXueyue (Sherry) Zhang will be an Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University starting January 2025. She earned her B.Eng. with honors in Microelectronics Engineering from Tsinghua University in 2017 and Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Caltech in 2023 supervised by Dr. Oskar Painter. Dr. Zhang then joined UC Berkeley as a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow, working with Dr. Alp Sipahigil in EECS and Physics.
