On 15 February 2023, Sumanta Khan joined the Ion Trap Group within CCQ as new postdoc. 

Sumanta was previously appointed a postdoc position at the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked on a variety of trapped ion research topics, including quantum simulation experiments, studies of energy-transfer dynamics, experimental test of causal non-linear extension of quantum mechanics, studying electric field noise due to surface contamination in an Al-surface ion trap, and studying and characterizing a 3D-printed novel ion trap apparatus.

Within CCQ, he is excited to continue research based on cold trapped ions with focused on cavity-mediated ion-photon interactions, ultracold ion-atom interactions, and single molecular ion spectroscopy.

A warm welcome to Sumanta!
