Defense of Thesis “Condensat de Bose-Einstein par refroidissement évaporatif dans un piège dipolaire pour la métrologie par interférométrie atomique”Defense by Clément COURVOISIER on 7 of October 2016 at JussieuThe Defense will take place of UPMC – 4 Place Jussieu – 75005 Paris. This research work fulfilled as part of my PhD project involved to design, build and characterise a new experimental setup based on an atom source by evaporative cooling in an optical dipole trap. It goes after the improvement of the uncertainty […]

Contirbute to the Quantum Manifesto befor April 30th, 2016Towards an European Flagship on Quantum TechnologiesCold atoms are at the heart of the new quantum technologies (atomic clocks, quantum simulators, quantum sensors, first prototypes of quantum computers, etc.), which, in the near future, shall have a deep impact both on fundamental as well as on applied research. Therefore, we find appropriate to invite you to read the “Quantum Manifesto” (*) […]
International Workshop on Ultra-cold Group II Atoms22-24 Feb. 2016 in Paris Observatory This workshop, whose topic is theory and experiments with ultra-cold alkaline-earth atoms (Sr, Yb, Hg, Mg, Ra…), will take place on 22-24 Feb. 2016 at Paris Observatory.
