Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.

Quantum physics with compound atom-ion systems

Date: Nov 28, 2018
Time: 10:30 AM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Dr. Antonio Negretti
Associate Professor at Center for Optical Quantum Technologies, Universität Hamburg
Location: Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik
Room: Hörsaal, Raum B 0.32 / New lecture hall, Room B 0.32
Host: MPQ, Theory Division, hosted by Dr. Richard Schmidt

In this talk I shall illustrate how ultracold quantum systems of atoms and ions can be used for quantum simulation and information processing as well as for investigating many-body quantum physics. I shall thus present a few theoretical examples on how to control an atomic bosonic Josephson junction with a single trapped ion, the formation of molecular ions, and how to engineer long-ranged atom-ion interactions with laser fields and Rydberg excitations.
