Exploring the Limits of Universal Quantum Interferometry (ELUQUINT)

ELUQUINT will boost research and technologies in universal high mass interferometry with metals and dielectrics. It will explore new avenues for quantum optics with slow proteins as well as new universal particle sources.

Ion Trapped Technologies for Mesoscopic Quantum States (iMeQ)

We will develop trap technologies for emergent optical cooling experiments in a mass range that has been inaccessible so far. This is a collaborative effort with the groups of Prof. Tracy Northup and Prof. Roland Wester both at the University of Innsbruck.

Project Number: 

Mega-Dalton Nanoparticles for Interference Experiments (MegaNICE)

MegaNICE was granted by the FWF on Sept 2024 and will be starting on January 1st 2025. It allows the exploration of nanoparticle interferometry beyond the state of the art. We will develop intense sources, mass filters and detection schemes to push matter-wave interferometry again beyond the state of the art.
