A téma rövid leírása, a megoldandó legfontosabb feladatok felsorolása: The Quantum Optics Laboratory in the Wigner Research Centre realizes a multi-purpose quantum light-matter interface. We perform optical experiments with laser-cooled Rubidium atoms which are trapped inside a high-finesse cavity. The quantum field of the optical cavity is strongly coupled to electric dipole transitions of Rubidium atoms. We can realize two kinds of atomic medium: (i) cold atom gas in a magneto-optical trap and (ii) degenerate quantum gas of ultracold atoms, the so-called Bose-Einstein condensate. The current system will be upgraded with novel features such as optical dipole trapping, and we are going to set up a new laboratory during the period of the PhD scholarship. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to learn the current experimental techniques of quantum optics while becoming proficient in the fundamental processes of light-matter interaction.
