David Wilkowski Group
Our major research areas are on ultracold atomic gases, regrouping four major scientific axes:
- Quantum simulation to address problems in condensed-matter physics and high energy physics in presence of non-Abelian gauge fields. We are also exploring gauge fields as a resource to create geometrical Qubits and new devices for matter-wave manipulations.
- Quantum sensing to explore fundamental tests in physics such as equivalent principle with the strontium clock as a genuine quantum system. On a more applied side, we are investigating new accelerometers based on compact atomic interferometers.
- Quantum processors. We are developing quantum processors with neutral atom arrays. We are targeting analog and digital units.
- Nanophotonics systems to explore light-matter coupling in extreme regimes and create structured-light patterns for trapping and manipulating atoms at the nanometric scale.
