Daniela Angulo: Unraveling the Quantum Mysteries of Light

Why does light behave the way it does in different materials? Daniela Angulo, a PhD candidate in experimental quantum optics, is answering this age-old question by exploring the intricate dance between photons and atoms.

Using a magneto-optical trap, she cools rubidium atoms to study photon-atom interactions at the quantum level. Her research goes beyond wave interference, diving into how photons momentarily become part of an atom’s structure before being re-emitted.

Angulo’s groundbreaking work not only addresses fundamental questions about light but also paves the way for stabilizing quantum systems and redefining how we understand the fabric of reality.
