Atomoptik in Kürze:
We explore the interaction of light and neutral atoms at temperatures where the wave nature of the atoms becomes important. Our work is motivated both by the desire to understand fundamental phenomena of quantum mechanics as well as learning to handle clean quantum mechanical systems in the lab on an engineering level. Our interest in light-matter interactions frequently creates the need for novel precision laser tools. This leads us to give significant attention to the development of project-specific laser sources.
