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 ...

Advanced ultrafast electron sources for quantum optics experiment with free electrons (UltrafastElectrons)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
This proposal aims at the development of an electron source that will allow controlling the position of free electrons with extremely high precision in space and time. Such a tool will enable novel quantum optics experiments and might turn into an electron source widely used in time-resolved scanning electron microscopy and electron diffraction, a field in which Europe is currently trailing the US ...

Precision Spectroscopy of the 1S-2S Optical Clock Transition in Atomic Hydrogen (Hydrogen 1S-2S)
Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Field of optical atomic standards is rapidly developing. In 2008 optical atomic clocks surpassed the precision of microwave atomic clocks for the first time. The applicant continues to work at Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) on the same project as during the MC IEF with the goal to further improve the precision of the 1S-2S optical transition frequency in hydrogen and deuterium. These ...

Attosecond dynamics in molecular systems (ATTOMO)
Start date: Nov 1, 2007, End date: Oct 31, 2010,
Ultrafast processes in molecules with key character for the macroscopic properties of matter have been studied so far utilizing the best available tools for gaining temporal resolution, namely: femtosecond laser pulses. These pulses however, though capable of providing resolution to track the atomic motion and the formation and rupture of the chemical bond in real time, fail to track the motion of ...
