A quantum photonics researcher who pioneered the miniaturization of cold atom trapping systems through integrated photonics at UC Santa Barbara, successfully developing the first photonic integrated 3D magneto-optical trap (PICMOT) that enables portable quantum technologies with applications in precision sensing, timekeeping, and quantum computing.
A team of researchers at Universität Stuttgart, Germany, has developed an ion-optics-based quantum microscope that is capable of creating images of individual atoms.
Researchers at the University of Bonn have used ultracold atoms to gain new insights into previously unknown quantum phenomena. They found out that the magnetic orders between two coupled thin films of atoms compete with each other.
The group of Tilman Esslinger demonstrates simultaneous control over transport and spin properties of cold atoms, and thus establishes a framework for exploring concepts in spintronics and solid-state physics.
