Atomic, Mesoscopic and Optical Physics

AMOP is a new research group at the Cavendish. The research is centred on the development of understanding of quantum aspects of condensed matter, from atomic Bose-Einstein condensates to semiconductor quantum dots.

The group is anticipated to have a high turnover of projects and experiments, in response to the expected rapid advances expected in the area. Facilities have been recently refurbished to accommodate this cutting-edge and exciting physics.

The group has four subgroups, each led by a different group member:

• Quantum gases and collective phenomena
• Quantum optics and cold atoms
• Quantum optics and mesoscopic systems
• Quantum optoelectronics
