The University of Amsterdam hosts the Strontium Quantum Gases group of Florian Schreck, which coordinates MoSaiQC. The group uses strontium quantum gases to study quantum many-body physics and for precision measurement. Besides the MoSaiQC project, three projects are pursued: the creation of ultracold RbSr ground-state molecules, a programmable quantum simulator based on individual Sr atoms in optical tweezers and a continuous atom laser. The group also coordinates the Quantum Flagship project iqClock.

The Nicolaus Copernicus University's cold atoms group brings world class expertise in both experimental and theoretical atomic physics. The main areas of research cover ultra-cold and degenerate matter, Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum states engineering, ion traps, ultra-cold molecules, cavity ring-down spectroscopy, optical frequency combs and optical lattice atomic clocks. One of the key activity in NCU is development and operation of a system of two optical lattice strontium atomic clocks at KL FAMO.

The Copenhagen group at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) is carrying out research on optical clocks and frequency references. The group has more than 17 years of experience working with cold two-electron atoms, such as Mg and Sr, for precision measurements and was the first to realize a BEC in Denmark using Na. Recently, the group demonstrated the potential of combining a low finesse optical cavity and atoms with narrow linewidth for bringing down local oscillator frequency noise and instability.

The TU Wien contribution to the MoSaiQC project will be lead by Dr. Georgy A. Kazakov, who have been working over many years in the Quantum Metrology group lead by Prof. Thorsten Schumm. The Quantum Metrology group is working primarily towards a new type of atomic clock that will use the transition in the nucleus of Thorium-229 as a reference. The TU Wien group will develop theoretical models and simulate the behaviour of a superradiant clocks in the presence of various real-life effect, optimize of experimental parameters, and analyse the experimental data.

Based in Innsbruck, Austria in midst of the beautiful Tyrolean alps, Prof. Helmut Ritsch's theory group has been working on Quantum Optics and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics since 1993. In essence, our work contributes to a better understanding of the interaction between light and matter. Our main research interests are Self-Organization, Cavity Cooling, Superradiant Lasing and Quantum Metrology.
