Theoretical development of control devices to manipulate and prepare the motion and the internal state of ultra-cold atoms

• Applicant: Dr. Andreas Ruschhaupt
• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: from 2007 to 2010
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 34958665

The research goal of this project is the theoretical development of new and the improvement of existing laser-based devices to prepare and control single-atom and many-atom internal and translational states. Especially, this includes applications and improvements of the atom diode (a laser-based device that lets the atom pass solely in one direction) and devices for velocity selection.
