Welcome to the Quantum Fluids Group
Ashton Bradley
We explore dynamics and statistical mechanics of quantum fluids.
The intersection of ultracold atoms and quantum optics features pristine experimental control over quantum physics and deep investigation of nonlinear many-body phenomena. Ultracold gas experiments afford a rich interplay between interactions, geometry, and optical manipulations that continues to yield new surprising physics. Recently developed optical platforms manifesting quantum fluid effects such as superfluidity have opened up new avenues for exploration.
We are a quantum theory group at the University of Otago.
We use methods of quantum field theory, quantum optics, and computational physics to study quantum many body phenomena, with a keen eye on experimental developments.
Job Offers: We are looking for talented new PhD and Masters students to join the team (more info) !
