Ultracold Quantum Matter (UQUAM)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2019,

Quantum mechanics is the basis of our understanding of the microscopic world. It is also central to the collective behaviour of matter at low temperatures, leading to unique properties that defy our classical intuition. The comprehension of such ‘quantum matter’ and the ability to master it using a newly developing set of ‘quantum technologies’ is not only of fundamental interest but holds the p ...

Advanced Coherent Ultrafast Laser Pulse Stacking (ACOPS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

"An important driver of scientific progress has always been the envisioning of applications far beyond existing technological capabilities. Such thinking creates new challenges for physicists, driven by the groundbreaking nature of the anticipated application. In the case of laser physics, one of these applications is laser wake-field particle acceleration and possible future uses thereof, such as ...

Precision laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic and pionic atoms (SPECAP)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

"This proposal has two objectives. First, I propose to measure the antiproton mass relative to the electron mass with a fractional precision of 0.1 ppb by carrying out sub-Doppler two-photon laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium atoms. The antiproton mass would then be better known than the proton mass. The (anti)proton-to-electron mass ratio is regarded as a one of several fundamental physica ...

Nanophotonics for Quantum Information and Simulation (NANOQUIS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2015, End date: Jan 31, 2017,

The growth of classical computational power supported by continued size reduction is expected to find its limit around 2019, when devices will probe the atomic scale. Fortunately, this limit represents an opportunity as systems are ruled by quantum mechanics that may lead to more efficient computation techniques. Many systems have been proposed as candidates to implement quantum computers: trapped ...

Charge radius experiment with muonic atoms (CREMA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"A measurement of the 2S-2P transition frequencies (Lamb shift) in the muonic helium-3 and 4 ions by means of laser spectroscopy is proposed. This will lead to a ten times more accurate determination of the root-mean-square (rms) charge radii of the He-3 and He-4 nuclei. The radius of the magnetic moment distribution inside the He-3 nucleus will result from the hyperfine structure in muonic 3He.I ...

Simulators and Interfaces with Quantum Systems (SIQS)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

The overarching goal of our project is to develop systems based on direct and deterministic interactions between individual quantum entities, which by involving large-scale entanglement can outperform classical systems in a series of relevant applications.We plan to achieve that by improving technologies from atomic, molecular and optical physics as well as from solid-state physics, and by develop ...

Attosecond Source from Laser-Plasma Interaction (ALPINE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Attosecond Science aims at studying ultrafast dynamics of electronic processes on a timescale of less than a femtosecond. Observing the electronic motion is done so far using attosecond bursts of XUV light issued from the interaction of a controlled laser light field with a gas medium at moderate intensity. The project ALPINE aims at scaling waveform-controlled laser-matter interaction to relativi ...

"We propose the commercialization of a new generation laser pulse shaper, the light synthesizer. The device will permit for the first time applications in science and technology that require shaping of light waves over the entire range of the visible light spectrum and beyond, the ultraviolet and the infrared. Thanks to its broadband operation, the device will enable a new generation of of appli ...

Circuit and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CCQED)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

This network will bridge two very active disciplines in physics, namely the quantum electrodynamics of atoms or ions strongly interacting with light in resonators, and the emerging field of solid-state superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics. Advanced techniques will be developed jointly with industry partners for the manipulation of a deterministic number of particles - atoms, ions or art ...

This project aims at the creation of robust and scalable quantum interfaces between different platforms for the implementation of Quantum Technologies. We will focus on interfacing interaction or measurement induced quantum resources in atomic matter to light fields, based on less demanding alternatives to cavity-enhanced interaction of light with single ultracold atoms. For some applications we e ...

Ultracold atoms in state-dependent optical lattices for realizing novel classes of interacting spin systems and artificial gauge fields (YTTERBIUMSPINLATTICE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are a novel method of approaching many-body systems of strongly correlated particles, a scenario usually encountered in the context of interacting electrons in condensed matter systems. Many of these complex many-body states are notoriously hard to study, as strong interactions and correlations make a general theoretical description impossible. Ultracold atoms ...
