We are currently in the midst of a second quantum revolution The first quantum revolution
gave us new rules that govern physical reality. The second quantum revolution will take …

Interference with atomic and molecular matter waves is a rich branch of atomic physics and
quantum optics. It started with atom diffraction from crystal surfaces and the separated …

Structured light refers to the generation and application of custom light fields. As the tools
and technology to create and detect structured light have evolved, steadily the applications …

Most previous texts on quantum optics have been written primarily for the graduate student
market at PhD level and above. Quantum optics: an introduction aims to introduce a wide …

We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions exhibit macroscopic quantum
coherence and can behave like artificial atoms. Recent technological advances have made …

We report on the first experimental observation of bright matter wave solitons for Rb 87
atoms with repulsive atom-atom interaction. This counterintuitive situation arises inside a …

The physics of optical vortices, also known as twisted light, is now a well-established and a
growing branch of optical physics with a number of important applications and significant …

To study controlled evolution of nonautonomous matter–wave solitons in spinor Bose–
Einstein condensates with spatiotemporal modulation, we focus on a system of three …

Using a matter wave lens and a long time of flight, we cool an ensemble of Rb 87 atoms in
two dimensions to an effective temperature of less than 5 0-30+ 50 pK. A short pulse of red …
