Quantum Optics: from cavity quantum electrodynamics to all-optical
implementations of quantum information schemes, from continuous variables
to
strong optical nonlinearity in coherent atomic media. From quantum
optomechanics to the hybridization of mechanical-optical devices.
Quantum Information Theory and Processing: from the theory of quantum
correlations to the design of protocols for their exploitation, from
quantum state transfer to the study of quantum statistics in quantum-spin
chains.
Laser cooling and spectroscopy: from atomic to molecular laser cooling,
from Sisyphus cooling to evaporative cooling.
Ultracold quantum gases, Quantum many-body theory and quantum phases: from
Bose-Einstein condensation to vortex-dynamics in distributed systems, from
the physics of cold atomic ensembles to general networks, their quantum
mechanical properties and their simulation in systems of cold and
ultracold atoms.
Foundations of physics: from Bell's inequality to Leggett-Garg
macro-realisitic test, from non-local realism to multipartite quantum
non-locality. Implementation in atomic, optical and solid-state
systems...and we enjoy both discrete and continuous variables!
