Carrie Weidner
University of Bristol
Dr Carrie Weidner is a Lecturer in the Quantum Engineering Technology Laboratories at the University of Bristol, UK, where she leads a research group concerned with the control and manipulation of quantum systems.
Carrie did her PhD in JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA under Prof. Dana Z. Anderson, and she worked on building inertial sensors using atoms trapped in optical lattice potentials. She then moved to Aarhus University, DK to work on quantum simulation using quantum gas microscopy, as well as dabbling in robust quantum control and quantum physics education research.
Since moving to Bristol in 2022, Weidner has been setting up her own research group focused broadly on (mostly) experimental quantum sensing, simulation, and information with atoms in optical lattice potentials. Dr Weidner also continues to work in robust quantum control, quantum physics education, and is increasingly interested in the interplay between atomic physics and integrated optics.
In her spare time, Carrie enjoys reading, live music, being out in nature, and playing various sports.
