Atomic and Laser Physics

Atom interferometry to search for ultra light dark matter and gravitational waves.

Quantum interfacing matter and light at the single-particle level

We are currently building an ultracold erbium experiment in our lab in the Beecroft building with the aim of studying the effect of long-range interactions on quantum fluids.

Our group researches into applying quantum physics beyond the microscopic domain

Testing and developing ideas in quantum computing using laser-manipulated trapped ions.

cosmic magnetic fields, turbulence, quantum plasmas, fusion energy, quantum gravity

Inertial Fusion

We study laser-driven plasma accelerators and their applications.

Applications of quantum control to building small demonstration quantum computers with nuclear magnetic resonance

Our research currently focusses on applications of sensitive optical diagnostic techniques pioneered in the group for applications in engineering and chemistry.

The Oxford Centre For High Energy Density Science (OxCHEDS) brings together groups from across Atomic and Laser physics (and beyond) with an interest in the study of matter under extreme conditions.

Exploring how quantum systems behave in extreme conditions of temeprature and density

Research in our group focuses on theoretical studies of quantum optical platforms including ultracold atoms, ion traps and cavities as well as quantum materials whose non-equilibrium dynamics can be controlled by ultrafast optics.

Theory research team working in quantum optics and quantum many-body systems, including quantum computing and simulation

We are an experimental group studying quantum many-body physics using ultracold atoms, as well as developing high-flux cold atomic sources and its application of matter-wave interferometry.
