Description for Ultracold Atoms for Foundational Tests of Quantum Mechanics
Hardback. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 172 pages, 21 black & white illustrations, 14 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHM; PHQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 426.
This thesis presents a theoretical investigation into the creation and exploitation of quantum correlations and entanglement among ultracold atoms. Specifically, it focuses on these non-classical effects in two contexts: (i) tests of local realism with massive particles, e.g., violations of a Bell inequality and the EPR paradox, and (ii) realization of quantum technology by exploitation of entanglement, for example quantum-enhanced metrology. In particular, the work presented in this thesis emphasizes the possibility of demonstrating and characterizing entanglement in realistic experiments, beyond the simple “toy-models” often discussed in the literature. The importance and relevance of this thesis are reflected in a ... Read more

About Robert J. Lewis-Swan
Robert Lewis-Swan obtained his Bachelors degree in science from University of Queensland, Australia in 2011 and was consequently awarded a prestigious University Medal. He continued his education at University of Queensland, pursuing a PhD in ultracold atomic physics under the supervision of A/Prof. Karen Kheruntsyan and graduating in 2015. His research interests include the study of non-equilibrium many-body dynamics, specifically ... Read more
