Ultracold Quantum Gases

正如我们所知，量子力学支配着构成物质的原子和分子的行为。在寻找新材料的过程中，勒布朗博士仔细研究了超冷原子气体的受控样本，以了解量子力学规则如何导致磁铁、超流体和以前从未见过的新材料的产生。利用这些经验教训，她还将探索这些冷原子如何通过电磁相互作用与固态量子系统接口，并发现如何利用这些强大的量子系统来存储、控制和操纵量子信息的技术，为今天的互联网、量子网络的继任者提供技术支持。

Quantum mechanics governs the behaviour of atoms and molecules that make up matter as we know it. In pursuit of new materials, Dr. LeBlanc studies carefully controlled samples of ultracold atomic gases to understand how the rules of quantum mechanics lead to magnets, superfluids, and new materials not seen before. Using these lessons, she will also explore how these cold atoms can interface with solid state quantum systems through electromagnetic interactions, and discover how to exploit these powerful quantum systems for technologies that store, control, and manipulate quantum information for the successor to todays internet, a quantum network.
