INVISIBLES

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"NEUTRINOS AND DARK MATTER are the most abundant particles in the universe and yet they remained unnoticed -invisible- for a long time, due to their tenuous couplings to the ordinary matter we are composed of.Neutrino masses inferred from neutrino oscillations and the existence of dark matter constitute the first evidence ever of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. A wide experimental prog ...

The physics of Ion Coulomb Crystals: Thermodynamics, Quantum control, and Quantum Simulators (PICC)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

In the quest for the realization of quantum information processors, trapped ions occupy a prominent position. The challenge of realizing large-scale processors and quantum simulators based on ions will, however, require that one deals with more complex structures, which may include mesoscopic ordered ion ensembles, i.e., ion Coulomb crystals. In this regime, it is expected that the effect of noise ...
