Graham is a theoretical physicist whose phenomenological proposals directly motivate several leading quantum-sensing experiments -- co-designing the MAGIS atom-interferometer program for gravitational waves and ultralight dark matter, and the DMRadio lumped-element axion search -- bridging fundamental theory with concrete experimental sensor concepts rather than running his own lab. [Included as a borderline/theory-side match per filter guidance; kept for review.]

Coordinator of SIRTEQ network (700+ quantum researchers in Γle-de-France). Closely connected to Pasqal spinoff. Key for quantum sensing foundations.
Grassellino directs the DOE's SQMS Center, a Fermilab-Northwestern-led national quantum initiative center, and pioneered nitrogen-doping surface treatments that give niobium superconducting RF (SRF) cavities record-high quality factors. Beyond their traditional use in particle accelerators, these ultra-high-Q cavities are now deployed as extremely sensitive electromagnetic detectors: the Dark SRF experiment set new sensitivity limits on dark-photon light-shining-through-wall searches, and SRF cavities (e.g. the MAGO design) are being explored as high-frequency gravitational-wave and axion detectors, alongside long-lived multimode quantum memories for superconducting quantum computing.
Gratta's group works at the interface of atomic and particle physics, developing cold-atom interferometric gravimeters and gradiometers for tests of gravity alongside searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay using liquid-xenon TPCs (EXO-200/nEXO), spanning quantum sensing hardware and rare-event particle detection.
Gregor's Laboratory for the Physics of Life builds custom quantitative microscopes (single-objective oblique-plane light-sheet, multicolor live-imaging, single-molecule transcription imaging) to make precision, physics-style measurements of gene expression, morphogen gradients, and chromatin dynamics in living Drosophila embryos and mammalian gastruloids. He is actively recruiting PhD students and postdocs with expertise in super-resolution imaging, nonlinear/ultrafast optics, and instrumentation development.
Studies active galactic nuclei and supermassive black holes using reverberation-mapping and time-domain spectroscopy (e.g., SDSS).
Simon Groeblacher's lab probes quantum physics at meso- and macroscopic scales using mechanical motion, rare-earth ion emitters, and superconducting qubits. Key research directions: (1) quantum optomechanics with photonic crystal nano-beam resonators deep in the resolved-sideband regime; (2) silicon defect emitters (rare-earth doped silicon) for quantum network nodes; (3) quantum acoustics experiments coupling mechanical resonators to superconducting qubits. The lab fabricates all devices in-house at Kavli Nanolab and has received NWO Summit Grant for 'Quantum Limits' and QDNL/NWO grant for quantum network nodes.
