Scientific activity
We perform experiments in the field of ultra-cold atoms, in order to study quantum many-body issues at the frontier of condensed matter physics, quantum optics, and metrology. We take advantage of the remarkable properties of chromium atoms (high spin, large magnetic moment) to demonstrate new physical effects triggered by the interactions between dipoles. Our current focus is to study the dynamical growth of entanglement and the quantum thermalization process during an out of equilibrium spin dynamics in this system.
