The Holland group's research includes experimental and theoretical work into the properties of Bose and Fermi quantum gases, covering optical lattices and strongly interacting superfluids. The group is working on developing a new kind of matter-wave interferometer that uses phase and amplitude modulation of an optical lattice to create pathway interference, an effort that involves both theory and experiment. The group is also working on superradiant cavity quantum electrodynamics with group-II elements with the aim to develop a millhertz linewidth laser. Further research interests encompass properties of many-ion crystals for purposes of quantum information studies, and superconducting qubits interacting with microwave fields. A major theme is the use of machine learning, in particular reinforcement learning, to quantum design.
