Key experiments are proposed for the advancement of quantum dynamics, the study of time evolution in systems described by quantum rather than classical mechanics. Both few and many body systems will be examined in real time. These include microwave driven highly excited hydrogen atoms, a search for a quantum breaktime in the evolution of a microwave driven ensemble of strontium atoms and an investigation into the gas-plasma phase transition in an overdense gas of Rydberg calcium atoms. These experiments will enhance our understanding of the relationship between the quantum theory of small systems and the nonlinear dynamics of classically macroscopic systems.

提出的关键实验是为了推进量子动力学，即研究由量子力学而不是经典力学描述的系统中的时间演化。 少数和许多身体系统都将受到实时检查。 其中包括微波驱动的高激发氢原子、对微波驱动的锶原子系演化中量子断裂的探索，以及对里德伯钙原子过密气体中气体-等离子体相变的研究。 这些实验将增强我们对小系统的量子理论与经典宏观系统的非线性动力学之间关系的理解。
