Nanofiber Quantum Networks (NanoQuaNt)

Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2019,

We propose to establish nanofiber-based atom-light interfaces as quantum-enabled fiber-optical components for quantum information processing and communication (QIPC). The key ingredient of this interface is a nanofiber-based optical dipole trap which stores laser-cooled atoms in the evanescent field surrounding the nanofiber. In this evanescently coupled atom-waveguide-system, even a few hundred a ...

Non Equilibrium Dynamics and Relaxation in Many Body Quantum Systems (QuantumRelax)

Start date: Jun 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2018,

Relaxation processes in many-body quantum systems arise in many diverse areas of physics ranging from inflation in the early universe to the emergence of classical properties in complex quantum systems. Ultracold atoms provide a unique opportunity for studying non-equilibrium quantum systems in the laboratory. The coherent quantum evolution can be observed on experimentally accessible timescales a ...

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 ...

Nanofiber-Based Optical Drag Force and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (NANOFIBER OPTICS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Recently, it has been shown theoretically that strongly non-paraxial Bessel beams can exert an optical force on a particle that drags the latter towards the light source. However, an experimental verification of the existence of an optical drag force (ODF) with Bessel beams is very challenging. In the first subproject, we therefore propose to theoretically investigate the possibility of realizing ...

Photonic Cluster States from Diamond (PHOCLUDI)

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

The main objective of the proposed research project is to build a diamond-based single-photon source that is capable of emitting strings of entangled photons for resource-efficient photonic quantum computing. This addresses the main challenge of measurement-based quantum computing in realising scalable multi-photon quantum information processing. We will follow recent theoretical work to realise t ...

Multidisciplinary evaluation of the cancer risk from neutrons relative to photons using stem cells and the induction of second malignant neoplasms following paediatric radiation therapy (ANDANTE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The ANDANTE project will investigate the relative risk of neutrons compared to photons for tumorigenesis, as a function of dose and energy. The approach will be multidisciplinary, including physics measurements and modelling, molecular biology, radiobiology, and epidemiology. The relative risk of neutrons will be studied using human and animal stem cells irradiated with either photons or neutron ...

Nuclear Atomic Clock (NAC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

"Atoms, as building blocks of nature, consist of an atomic nucleus and the electron shell. Both systems are governed by similar laws and forces. However, the required energies to create changes in the nucleus or the electron shell differ by many orders of magnitudes. This reflects in largely different tools and methods used for their investigation: atomic physics probes the electron shell mainly b ...

Quantum Interferometry with Bose-Einstein Condensates (QIBEC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

We propose to realize of a new class of interferometers based on entangled states of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. These will have sensitivities beyond the shot-noise limit, potentially approaching the ultimate Heisenberg limit dictated by quantum mechanics. Our goal is to achieve an optimal control of the entanglement by means of novel experimental and theoretical tools to fully exploit its c ...

From Dicke States to Anderson Localisation of Light in Optical Nanofibres (DIALON)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

The aim of DiALON is to investigate cooperative and multiple scattering of light in one dimension using optical nanofibres. Two complementary experimental approaches will be pursued: atoms trapped around an optical nanofibre and nanofibres perforated with nanoscopic holes. The question of the interplay between cooperative effects, based on Dicke super- and subradiance in extended dense ensembles a ...
