Our experimental setup allows the study of the dynamics of immersed quantum systems in highly controlled situations. Currently, we are implementing a quantum two level systems, motional qubits, by realizing a species selective trap for potassium which is immersed into a Bose Einstein condensate of sodium. We will establish a new detection scheme for quantum dynamics by implementing an Unruh-DeWitt detector employing the Feshbach control of the interspecies interaction. This will allow the demonstration of paradigmatic examples of relativistic quantum field theory such entanglement harvesting from vacuum, and the Unruh-effect.
Are you interested in working in a many-body quantum dynamics laboratory? You don't need any prior experience, and you'll be able to work with the following in our lab.
We are always looking for motivated bachelors, masters, PhD students, and PostDocs! If you are interested in applying, please send your CV, a transcript, and topics of interest to application@matterwave.de.
