Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In 2023 we are going to celebrate the centenary of Louis de Broglie’s revolutionary idea that all massive matter has to be described by quantum waves. This idea inspired Erwin Schrödinger to formulate his wave equation and it is at the heart of matter-wave research on systems as diverse as electrons, neutrons, atoms, degenerate atomic clouds, molecules, clusters, and nanoparticles, exotic matter or antimatter.

The summer academy reflect this breadth of modern matter-wave science but we will focus on experiments with electrons, atoms and macrmomolecules/nanoparticles.

Modern matter-wave physics addresses the foundations of physics as well as applications in inertial sensing, precision measurement of fundamental constants, electron microscopy, molecule metrology, explorations of the limits of quantum physics or its interface to gravity theory, chemistry, and biology. The Summer Academy will cover the theoretical basis as well as experimental techniques and applications.

This Summer Academy counts as a VU lecture within the University of Vienna, with regular ECTS credits.
Up to 30 international students can participate in the course with our without grading.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Participation in the lectures and exercise classes is mandatory.
The grades will be based on homework assignments and exams at the end of each week.

Literatur

Lecture slides will be provided. The content will be collected from books on optics, electron optics, atomic physics, and molecular physics, as well as from research articles.

As an introduction we recommend the following review articles:

Optics and interferometry with atoms and molecules, Alexander D. Cronin, Jörg Schmiedmayer, and David E. Pritchard, Rev. Mod. Phys. 81, 1051, (2009)

Colloquium: Quantum interference of clusters and molecules, Klaus Hornberger, Stefan Gerlich, Philipp Haslinger, Stefan Nimmrichter, and Markus Arndt, Rev. Mod. Phys. 84, 157 (2012)
