Atomic and Laser Physics
Research groups
Combustion Physics and Non-Linear Optics
We develop laser-based diagnostic techniques, taking advantage of linear and non-linear optical phenomena - primarily in the gas phase.
Group Leaders Paul Ewart
Ion Trap Quantum Computing
Ion Trap Quantum Computing Group
Group Leaders Andrew Steane, David Lucas
Many-body quantum correlations
We theoretically study the dyanmics and nature of quantum correlations and coherence in ultracold matter
Group Leaders Dieter Jaksch, Stephen Clark
Plasma Accelerators
We study compact accelerators based on plasma waves, and applications arising from them.
Quantum Optics of Quantum Many-Body Systems
Ultracold quantum gases, strongly correlated systems, quantum optics, cavity QED, nanophotonics
Group Leaders Igor Mekhov
Symmetry violations, QED, laser spectroscopy
