The ultracold quantum gases group is an experimental research group at ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain. The group was established in June 2013.
In our research we use ultracold (nanokelvin) atomic gases as model systems to explore fundamental phenomena in quantum many-body physics. By exploiting atom-light interactions, we engineer highly controllable artificial quantum materials and probe their properties. Our goal is to employ these systems as quantum simulators for studying open problems in condensed-matter physics, and to realize novel phases without counterpart in the solid-state context. Our research therefore lies at the crossing between quantum optics and condensed-matter physics.
