Sadgrove Mark

I began my research in the field of quantum chaos, earning a PhD from the University of Auckland for, among other things, the study of quantum resonant motion of cold atoms. I became a Post Doctoral Fellow at Nakagawa-lab in the Institute for Laser Science, the University of Electro-communications in 2006 and continued research into atom transport including atom ratchets and Gauss sum computation using fine control of cold atomic wavepacket phase. I also constructed a new cold atom experiment for the study of faster-than-classical transport in kicked cold atoms.

I moved to Gakushuin University in 2010 and worked at Hirano-lab to implement a Ramsey interferometer in the magnetic sublevels of a Rb condensate. The work was subsequently refined and extended by Assitant Prof. Yujiro Eto and Prof. Takuya Hirano leading to a magnetometry system for cold atoms.

I then became an Assitant Professor at the center for Photonic innovations, where I worked with my colleague R. Yalla to realize the first example of cavity based enhancement of a quantum emitter on an optical nanofiber.

Presently, I am an Associate Professor at the Research Institute of Electrical Communication, Tohoku University. With my students, I have developed methods to place single nanoparticles onto nanofibers, to transport nanoparticles along a nanofiber surface and I have recently built the second magneto optical trap for Rb atoms at Tohoku University.
