Continuous titanium laser sapphire for ultracold atom experiments

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Barcelona Province (NUTS ES511); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 190,400; EU co-financing EUR 95,200 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2019-01-01 to 2021-03-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): Ultracold atomic gases constitute an ideal platform for quantum technologies, with applications in quantum simulation, quantum communications and quantum metrology. Trapping and manipulating ultracold atomic gases with light requires the use of continuous-wave lasers with very well defined specifications in terms of wavelength, spectral properties, and power. The goal of this project is the acquisition of the continuous-wave titanium sapphire laser required by three different research lines based on ultracold atomic gases: (i) quantum simulation of dynamical gauge fields in potassium Bose-Einstein condensates with tunable interactions; (ii) non-linear quantum optics with Rydberg states in ultracold rubidium gases, with applications in quantum information processing; (iii) ultracold strontium quantum simulators confined in optical lattices exploiting the clock transition normally used in metrology. The acquisition of this laser will favor the expansion of two existing research lines and allow the development of a third one that, until now, does not exist in Spain from the experimental point of view. Its installation will favor new scientific collaborations between theoretical and experimental research groups in the Barcelona region.
