Physics: Applied Modern Physics

Who we are, what we do

We engage in a broad range of basic, applied research and technology development in experimental and computational neuroscience, neural computation, quantum information science, bio-security, nuclear weapons data analysis, advanced imaging, image analysis, and signal processing.

Our people

Our staff members have ongoing research projects in quantum-enabled secure communications, scalable ion traps for quantum computing and simulation, fundamental studies of Bose-Einstein condensates and applications to Bose-Einstein condensates interferometry, brain imaging using ultra low field magnetic resonance imaging/magnetoencephalography, synthetic cognition, psychophysics, and metagenomics.

Our expertise

Applied Modern Physics has a history of excellence in the development and use of advanced diagnostics such as

  • Ultra low field magnetic resonance imaging for the detection of liquid explosives,
  • Imaging using atomic magnetometry,
  • Microfluidics applications,
  • Determination of protein structure and function using x-ray crystallography,
  • Atom interferometry,
  • Optical imaging and tomography of biological tissue,
  • Novel applications of radio frequency sensing, and
  • Biologically-inspired computer vision.
