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 ...

Molecular Networks with precision Terahertz Spectroscopy (MoNTeS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Terahertz frequencies match the vibrations between large functional groups in molecular networks from macromolecules, nano-droplets to proteins. If we are able to measure these oscillations we can decipher the structure and the long-range interactions in large molecular systems. This yields a precise fingerprint of the molecule that is highly useful for sensitive trace analysis. However, despite o ...
