Atom Optics and Quantum Sensors

Atom Optics and Quantum Sensors

The interaction between light and atomic samples is used to investigate and manipulate these building block of nature. This allows for deep insights in the quantum mechanics of these systems and allows for the contruction of sensors at the quantum limit.
 

 Atom Optics

  • MIX
    The Multi specIes eXperiment investigates quantum degenerate atomic sample with multiple atomic species and internal states. More

  • Bose-Fermi-mixtures and spinor gases  (KRb)
    The combination of bosonic rubidium and fermionic potassium atoms and spinor gases are investigated and manipulated. More

  • ATLAS
