CUA Seminar: Tilman Esslinger – Not so gentle transport of cold atoms

Location:MIT 4-270

Tilman Esslinger, ETH Zurich

Ten Minute Talk:"Scalable Quantum Network: Congestion-free entanglement routing" by Hyeongrak Choi

Understanding out-of-equilibrium phenomena in quantum many-body systems is one of the great challenges in physics. Cold atoms provide a promising experimental platform for exploring the dynamics away from equilibrium and with strong interactions. In my talk I will present two approaches to transport experiments: i) the directed transport of atoms between two connect traps acting...
