Quantum engineering in cold atomic gases (Nr. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712-01-0051)

This research is funded by the European Social Fund according to the activity ‘Improvement of researchers’ qualification by implementing world-class R&D projects’ of Measure No. 09.3.3-LMT-K-712.

Cold atomic gases offer broad opportunities for quantum engineering. These systems are perfectly isolated from the environment, remarkably clean and offer an unprecedented degree of control through light-matter interaction. Successful experiments and demonstrations rapidly proceed towards ever increasing levels of quantum complexity. However, in spite of rapid advances, recent experiments have also met with rather hard limitations. The current project aims to elucidate the role of interactions, internal degrees of freedom and structured gauge fields in out-of-equilibrium dynamics of cold-atom systems and to propose a new generation of periodic driving schemes. Due to the broad interest and rapid development of quantum techonology related fields, the results will be in broad demand by the scientific community. The proposed work will be carried out in an internationally collaborative environment and will thus help foster research networking links and improve research qualifications through exchange.
