Research

There are several quantum optical research directions being pursued by researchers in this lab. The links below (and in the sidebar) will take you to summaries of the scientific questions we are trying to answer. Where appropriate, references are provided to scientific articles that give more in-depth explanation. If you follow the reference links from a computer on WVU's campus, you can access the articles online.
