Leírás: 

The Quantum Optics Laboratory in the Wigner Research Centre realizes a
multi-purpose quantum light-matter interface. We perform optical experiments
with laser-cooled Rubidium atoms which are trapped inside a high-finesse
cavity. The quantum field of the optical cavity is strongly coupled to
electric dipole transitions of Rubidium atoms. We can realize
two kinds of atomic medium: (i) cold atom gas in a magneto-optical trap and
(ii) degenerate quantum gas of ultracold atoms, the so-called Bose-Einstein
condensate. The current system will be upgraded with novel features such as
optical dipole trapping, and we are going to set up a new laboratory during
the period of the PhD scholarship. The successful applicant will be given the
opportunity to learn the current experimental techniques of quantum optics
while becoming proficient in the fundamental processes of light-matter
interaction.
