Cold Atoms in Optical Lattices: a Laboratory for the Study of Complex Quantum Systems

University Of Arizona, Tucson AZ

Investigators

Abstract

This research project focuses on the study of quantum systems characterized by increased complexity. It represents a continuation of the investigator's program to use laser cooled atoms and optical lattices as a platform for studies of quantum control and measurement. The project will focus on four main areas: (i) continuous quantum measurements, (ii) model systems for the study of quantum nonlinear dynamics, (iii) quantum chaos and quantum/classical correspondence, and (iv) feedback control of quantum many-body systems. The broader impact involves student education, applications to quantum information processing and a broad range of collaborations.
