Highlight:
I am a graduate student and University Scholar in the Duke Physics department where I work in Dan Gauthier's Quantum Electronics Laboratory. I am building a single neutral atom remote entanglement experiment for use in a quantum repeater protocol. Distributed entanglement = Fundamentally Secure Communication!
