SFB 925Light induced dynamics and control of correlated quantum systems

When we put water in a freezer, water molecules crystallize and form ice. This change from one phase of matter to another is called a phase transition. While this transition, and countless others that occur in nature, typically takes place at the same fixed conditions, such as the freezing point, one can ask how it can be...

Dr. Christof Weitenberg from the Institute of Laser Physics at Universität Hamburg will receive an ERC Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC) worth € 1.5 million. He will be analyzing exotic particles within the new research project “Engineering and exploring anionic quantum gases”, ANYON in short. Such...

The quench dynamics of a binary Bose-Einstein condensate crossing the miscibility immiscibility threshold and vice versa is explored, both within and more importantly beyond the mean-field approximation. Increasing the interspecies repulsion leads to the filamentation of the density of each component, involving shorter...
