What is ACQAO?
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics (ACQAO) combines pre-eminent Australian theoretical and experimental research groups in quantum and atom optics. Our aim is to create a powerful network to advance the rapidly developing field of Quantum-Atom Optics .
We are exploiting the quantum nature of multiple particle quantum states of atoms and photons, including entangled light and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). The Centre focuses on fundamental research, but our long term goal is to underpin and develop the next generation quantum technology.
Quantum-atom optics research at ACQAO comprises six experimental projects directed and supported by a central theory core. For a detailed description of the research activities in the Centre, please click on the project titles in the diagram below.
