quantum optics, AMO, cold atoms, optomechanics

McGill courses:

quantum mechanics, quantum optics, QED?

Why you chose to feature this researcher:

She's done a LOT in AMO with cold atoms I don't know much about, but I've been continuously impressed with her work in optomechanics, notably observing quantum radiation pressure noise, sideband asymmetry in laser cooling, etc. She has a wikipedia page.
