Bose-Einstein Condensate of strontium atoms

We are setting up a new experiment for the realisation of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) of strontium atoms. In a BEC, one achieves macroscopic filling of atoms in a single quantum state, which manifests itself as a sharp peak in momentum as well as in position space. Read more

Superradiance and subradiance states in an entangled ensemble of Sr atoms in a 3D optical lattice.

Collective response in an ensemble of atoms can lead to the phenomenon of Superradiance and subradiance states. These are quantum effects and can arise due to strong interactions among atoms of the ensemble. Read more

Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere

The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.
