Aziza is an experimental physicist working on hybrid quantum systems with Rydberg atoms, superconducting circuits, and diamond nanophotonics. Her interests include novel quantum interfaces and the generation of entangled resources across different platforms for quantum processing, communication, and sensing.
Currently, she is a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard, working on quantum networks based on silicon vacancy defects in diamond nanophotonic cavities. During her PhD at the University of Chicago, she worked on quantum transduction using Rydberg atoms in optical and superconducting cavities, for which she received the 2023 Deborah Jin Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis. She received her AB degree in Physics from Harvard.
She will be arriving July 1, 2025.
