Unlocking the Dark Universe with Gravitational Wave Observations: from Quantum Optics to Quantum Gravity Ghent University
The spectacular first direct detections of gravitational waves (GW) have opened up hitherto unexplored and extreme regions of the universe. To realize the rich discovery potential of GWs with laser interferometry will require new collaborations and initiatives at the interface of physics and engineering. With this Declaration of Intent our research groups join forces to put forward a coherent research program building on our strengths and ...

Development of a quantum dot single photon source on Silicon for the next generation integrated quantum circuits Ghent University
Quantum technologies have received much interest in the last years thanks to the promise of extreme computational power and secure data transmission. Single photons are important elements for these technologies, being suitable candidates both for quantum computing and communication. This triggered the research community to develop an ideal single photon source (SPS). Devices based on InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs substrates are the ...
Quantum simulation of polaronic effects in quantum gases Ghent University
The focus of the proposed project is on the quantum simulation and study of impurities strongly coupled to an environment, in particular a trapped quantum gas. These quantum mechanical quasi-particles play a key role in the dynamics of the macroscopic quantum liquid. This can be related to the general framework derived first for polarons in the context of solid state physics.
Currently, there is a strong interest in these objects in the ...
