Wave physics for quantum technologies

The lab develops theory, simulation, and experimental workflows for resonant electromagnetic systems, quantum hardware interfaces, and metamaterial-enabled sensing.

Complex-frequency electrodynamics and non-Hermitian scattering

We study resonant wave systems using complex-frequency excitations, non-Hermitian scattering theory, and temporal waveform design to reveal poles, zeros, and transient response channels that are hidden in steady-state measurements.

  • Pole-zero engineering in microwave, optical, and polaritonic systems
  • Waveform design for scattering beyond conventional bounds
  • Fano interference, coherent perfect absorption, and exceptional response
  • Complex-frequency excitations for resonator diagnostics
