In the fall of 2013, Schleier-Smith joined the Stanford faculty as an assistant professor of physics. The Schleier-Smith Lab exploits precise hybrid light-matter interactions to demonstrate engineered dynamics in cold atom systems. According to Schleier-Smith, "Hybrid systems are likely to harbor surprises that will fuel quantum science for decades to come".[12] An important regime under investigation is the entanglement frontier.[13]
