Hogan Lab
Welcome to the Hogan Lab!
We use the quantum-mechanical properties of ultracold strontium atoms to perform precision measurements and tests of fundamental physics. Check out our research page for details.
We engineer a novel collinear three-photon process to drive the ¹S₀ to ³P₀ clock transition in ⁸⁸Sr. The new three-photon method enables precise clock transitions in bosonic atoms—previously limited to fermions—unlocking their use in advanced quantum sensors, interferometers, and timekeeping technologies. Now published in Physical Review X.
Clock Atom Interferometry
We are combining features of the world's most precise atomic clocks with novel tools in matter-wave optics.
Strontium Gradiometer (MAGIS Prototype)
We are contructing a 10m-scale gradiometer with strontium atoms, spanning the height of our two-story lab.
MAGIS-100
The Matter-wave Atomic Gradiometer Interferometric Sensor (MAGIS-100) is a next-generation quantum sensor under construction at Fermilab.Join our Lab
We are always looking for curious and motivated people to join our research group! Are you an undergraduate or graduate student with interest in atom interferometry and testing fundamental physics? Are you a postdoc with experience in atomic and optical physics? Please reach out to Jason Hogan
