Research Interests
Can individual photons behave like conventional particles, such as electrons and atoms? Can atoms behave akin to light?
In the Light-vs-Matter Lab at the Weizmann Institute of Science, we study these manifestations. Check out how we push photons to form molecules and crystals, how we make mirrors and cavities out of light, how atoms diffract and interfere, and how light diffuses.
