Ultracold Quantum Gases
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Quantum mechanics governs the behaviour of atoms and molecules that make up matter as
we know it. In pursuit of new materials, Dr. LeBlanc studies carefully controlled
samples of ultracold atomic gases to understand how the rules of quantum
mechanics lead to magnets, superfluids, and new materials not seen before.
Using these lessons, she will also explore how these cold atoms can interface
with solid state quantum systems through electromagnetic interactions, and
discover how to exploit these powerful quantum systems for technologies that
store, control, and manipulate quantum information for the successor to today¿s
internet, a quantum network.
