DAALI achieves one of its first milestones

,
In a recent paper published in PRL, researchers from the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology and the Humboldt University of Berlin, and partners of DAALI, have demonstrated the trapping of a single rubidium atom at nanoscale distances…

Nanotrappy: An open-source versatile package for cold-atom trapping

,
The LKB Quantum Network team, DAALI researchers at Sorbonne University, have developed Nanotrappy, a python package made for calculating optical trapping potentials for alkali atoms around nanostructures. Trapping cold neutral atoms in close…
optical refractive indices

Why are optical refractive indices so small?

,
An international team of scientists reports in Physical Review X on a new theory that can explain why the refractive index of a disordered atomic medium only reaches a maximum value of 1.7. Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon cover, voted…

Super-extended nanofiber-guided field for coherent interaction with hot atoms

,
A study that includes DAALI research groups from led by Arno Rauschenbeutel, from Humboldt University (HUB), and  Barak Dayan, from The Weizmann Institute of Science, shows the effects of the interactions of light and matter under warm atomic…
