University of Amsterdam

The University of Amsterdam hosts the Strontium Quantum Gases group of Florian Schreck, who is also the MoSaiQC coordinator. The group uses strontium quantum gases to study quantum many-body physics and for precision measurement. Four research projects are pursued: the creation of ultracold RbSr ground-state molecules, the construction of a superradiant clock, a programmable quantum simulator using single Sr atoms in optical tweezers, and a continuous atom laser.
We do have open PhD positions (although all positions that are part of the MoSaiQC projects have been filled), an open research assistant position, and possibilities for master students and postdocs. |

Florian Schreck uses ultracold quantum gases to explore quantum physics. After his PhD 2002 at E.N.S. Paris with Christophe Salomon and a postdoc in Austin, TX with Mark Raizen, he joined the group of Rudolf Grimm at IQOQI, Innsbruck in 2004. He founded his own research group in 2008, soon afterwards creating the first quantum gas of strontium. Another important breakthrough was to reach quantum degeneracy using only laser cooling. In 2014 he moved his group to Amsterdam, where he extended his research using an ERC consolidator grant and an NWO Vici grant. He is the coordinator of the iqClock and MoSaiQC consortium.

Part of the iqClock project will be executed on the Sr atom laser apparatus under construction in Amsterdam. The following team members are mainly working on this apparatus, but will contribute with their know-how to iqClock and MoSaiQC.
