The RakichLab explores new strategies to harness photons, phonons, and nonlinearities to build the next generation of integrated technologies for quantum information processing, communications, and precision measurements. Our research spans integrated photonics, quantum optomechanics, and ultralow noise oscillators—combining theory, materials spectroscopy, and nanofabrication to push the limits of performance.
