Hassan A. Bukhari · PhD candidate, University of Iowa
Researching quantum information & sensing.
I am a physics PhD candidate at the University of Iowa working on quantum information, quantum coherence, and quantum sensing. My research investigates microscopic noise origins and coherent controls of solid-state systems.
Research
From coherence to noise.
Quantum information
Solid-state platforms for quantum information — coherence, decoherence, and control of quantum degrees of freedom.
Quantum sensing
Sensitivity limits of solid-state quantum sensors, including sensor designs built around exceptional points.
Rare-earth ions in photonics
Quantum coherence of rare-earth ions in heterogeneous photonic interfaces and hybrid semiconductor structures.
Charge & surface noise
Microscopic origins of noise at surfaces — drift-diffusion charge fluctuations and their effect on solid-state devices.

The Microscopic Origins of Charge Noise in Solid-State Qubits
An exploration of surface charge noise, drift-diffusion dynamics, and how fluctuating surface states decohere solid-state quantum devices. Understanding these microscopic origins is key to engineering longer-lived qubits.

Coherent Control of Rare-Earth Ions in Photonic Cavities
How embedding rare-earth ions (like Erbium) into heterogeneous photonic crystal cavities enables long coherence times and strong light-matter interaction for quantum memories.
