In this seminar, we will discuss the theoretical foundations, technical realizations and practical applications of matter-wave physics with atoms, molecules, clusters and nanoparticles.

This is a seminar complementary to a lecture on matter-wave this year but here more looking into the requirements for future breakthroughs in the field.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal is to get a good overview over the state of the art, which is the basis of your own research in the field.

Assessment and permitted materials

You will give a presentation at least once in this seminar and attendance and active participation throughout 80% of the time is mandatory.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The presentation is graded based on
- Comprehensiveness and correctness of the content: 50%
- presentation: 25
- question session: 25 %
You will share your presentation with the group.

Examination topics

see above

Reading list

will be discussed during the seminar. It will be mostly focused on
- atom interferometry: testing foundations of QM and gravity, and physics beyond the standard model
- molecule interferometry: testing quantum macroscopicity and measurements of properties of indiviudalized molecules
- cluster interferometry: sources, diffraction mechanisms, technological requirements, applications
- nanoparticle interferometry: sources, cooling, quantum state preparation in linear and rotational state space, interferometer concepts,
- decoherence and limits of the superposition principle
