Particular focal points of research are:
The research in Birmingham has a particular focus on optical lattice systems, which provide new interdisiplinary insights into important condensed matter phenomena, for example superconductivity and quantum phase transtions. We explore possibilities using quantum simulations, and promote further developments towards quantum information at the interface between quantum optics and cold atoms. An applied theme will be the development of quantum sensors for measurements of the highest precision.
In Nottingham work is based largely on atom chips. Atom chips are known to offer the finest control of quantum gases, giving rise to the development of micro-laboratories. Using such laboratories we will study hitherto unseen fundamental quantum phenomena, produce sensors, and work towards q-bit storage.
