Welcome to the Gadway Lab at the University of Illinois!
Our group has broad interests in developing new experimental capabilities for the exploration of new physics, ranging from many-body quantum systems of atoms and molecules to classical mechanical metamaterials. Our efforts include more applied projects on quantum information science and quantum sensing as well as more fundamental projects aimed at exploring new physical phenomena.
