Theoretical research is pursued in the CUA in a variety
of areas related to ultracold atom science. The research
is carried out under the direction of three Principal
Investigators and one CUA Associate. Alexander
Dalgarno—Principal Investigator
Ultracold collisions | 
Eric Heller—Principal
Investigator
Wave physics, atom optics, quantum reflection |
Mikhail Lukin—Principal
Investigator
Quantum optics, many-body theory |
Theory at CUA benefits from its close coupling with
the Institute of
Atomic and Molecular Physics (ITAMP) at Harvard/Smithsonian.
Visiting theorists frequently spend time at both institutions.
