Goodbye to Lauriane
After 5 productive years in the Dipolar Quantum Gas Group, Lauriane Chomaz is moving to the University of Heidelberg as Tenure-Track Professor. Congratulation Lauriane! We wish you great success in your next adventure in physics
Phase coherence in out-of-equilibrium supersolid states of ultracold dipolar atoms
Supersolids are fluid and solid at the same time. In jointly collaboration work, together with Thierry Giamarchi, theoretical physicist from the University of Geneva, we have for the first time investigated what happens when such a state is brought out of balance. We discovered a soft form of solid of high interest for science. As we report in Nature Physics, we were also able to reverse the process and restore supersolidity.
Philipp and Gianmaria are now Doctors of Philosophy
Philipp and Giammaria held their defenses for their PhD thesis and are now officially Doctors of Philosophy. Congratulations and we wish you all the best for your future!
Supersolidity in an elongated dipolar condensate
Now in Physical Review Research!
Lauriane and Francesca, together with Blair Blakie and Danny Bailly (Otago University), theoretically studied the supersolid phase diagram of dipolar quantum Bose gases in cylindrical geometries. The work is now published in Physical Review Research.
Welcome to Tom
Welcome to Tom, who has joined the Theory team as PostDoc. Tom joined us from the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics of the Newcastle University. In his PhD, he studied the dynamics and stability of nonlinear waves in quantum fluids exhibiting long-range interactions.
