Nominator's project description

Professor Stamper-Kurn is an international expert in the field of ultracold quantum gases, quantum optics and atom-optics. In his research, he engineers novel many-body quantum systems and investigates them using innovative probes to enhance our understanding of light and matter at the quantum scale. During his stay in Germany, he plans to work on all these different aspects together with different research teams.
