NODOS · Non-adiabatic quantum dynamics in novel optical superlattices

The interdisciplinary boundary between the fields of quantum information science, condensed matter, and atomic physics is at the heart of the new field of ""quantum engineering"". One of the most important tools in this domain is ultracold atoms in optical lattices which are an ideal for testing condensed matter models and realising scalable quantum computation.For pratical implementation of quantum technology the challenge lies in realising the necessary dynamics with sufficient speed, sensitivity and robustness. This project will combine cutting-edge technologies of high resolution imaging and non destructive probing with an innovative realisation of super lattices to realise novel dynamics on the scale or microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic atom numbers. In addititon, I will use my extensive experience in the field of rapid, non-adiabatic processes to speed-up these processes allowing the step from proof of principle to the extremely high fidelities demanded for practical implementations.""
