Quantum Theory and Technologies
Describing and exploring fundamental phenomena in quantum systems, and advancing their application through quantum technology.
Research group focus
We live in a quantum era, where the quantum mechanical properties of matter and light are probed and tested to unprecedented levels, and they are also being harnessed into quantum technologies such as precision sensors and quantum computers.
The quantum matter research group covers:
- Bose-Einstein condensation
- quantum fluids
- ultracold gases
- superfluid liquid helium
- exciton-polariton condensates
- solitons, vortices and turbulence
- light-matter interaction
- quantum optics
- quantum thermodynamics
- fundamental and mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics
- quantum transport
Research impact
We recently hosted the biennial IOP QuAMP (Quantum, Atomic and Molecular Physics) conference.
