Yan Qi Huan
Graduate Student
Yan Qi earned his B.S. in Physics and Computer Science from Caltech in 2019, completing a thesis under Andrei Faraon on utilizing rare-earth ion doped crystals as qubits for quantum networks and fabricating tapered fibers for efficient coupling to on-chip waveguides. Before joining the Lukin group in 2020, he worked as a research scientist at Singapore's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, focusing on growing 2D materials like MoS₂ and investigating their electrical breakdown properties. Currently, Yan Qi's research involves utilizing silicon-vacancy centers in diamond nanophotonic cavities to achieve efficient long-distance entanglement and exploring quantum information protocols within multi-node quantum networks.
