.: Theory

Many is not just more, it’s different.  For example, atoms are different from molecules, are different from crystals.  Yet the most exciting many-particle systems are the ones that exhibit cooperative behavior, for example, superconductivity and Bose-Einstein condensation.  These effects arise from the interactions of immaculately homogeneous, naturally occurring quantum systems. In this project we investigate theoretically effects caused by the interaction of man-made atom-like quantum systems. Special focus is given to phenomena that rely on coherence, correlation and cooperation between different quantum states and systems. Topics of interest include Slow Light, Induced optical transparency, Superradience, Entanglement,...
