The University of Birmingham’s Cold Atoms Group chaired by Prof. Kai Bongs is a world class research centre consisting more than 60 persons working on a diverse set of experiments, including atom interferometry based gravity sensing, optical clocks, quantum simulation, quantum information, cavity quantum-electrodynamics, and rotational sensing. Within iqClock the Birmingham group leads industry to build a compact Sr optical clock.
We are completing the recruitment of two PhD students. |
