I will present our work developing optogenetic vision restoration technologies for blind patients with retinal degenerative diseases. I will discuss how we transform surviving retinal cells into photoreceptor-like cells capable of responding to light stimuli. Our approach has progressed from initial proof-of-concept studies in animal models to clinical applications in blind human patients, demonstrating meaningful visual perception restoration. [mehr]

Quantum many-body scars are highly excited states with atypical properties. They are remarkable because they do not follow the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and lead to interesting dynamics. After a general introduction to the field, I will discuss how similar quantum scars are to ground states. In particular, quantum scars can undergo both adiabatic evolution and phase transitions. I will also introduce inverted quantum many-body scars. [mehr]

In this talk I will discuss ongoing efforts in the Simon-Schuster collaboration at Stanford that leverage arrays of optical and microwave resonators for quantum science. On the microwave side, I will describe our Bose-Hubbard circuit platform and share experimental work assembling and studying liquids and solids of photons, culminating in our demonstration of manybody Ramsey spectroscopy as a probe of chemical potential and pressure in photon fluids.
