At ISMO, my research explores the fascinating dynamics of quantum systems, focusing on ultra-cold atomic and molecular ensembles and Bose-Einstein condensates. Using cutting-edge numerical methods, I work on controlling quantum dynamics with high precision using external fields such as time-dependent magnetic fields or shaped laser fields. A major goal is to push the boundaries of atomic interferometry to test fundamental laws of physics, like Einstein’s equivalence principle, through groundbreaking experiments in microgravity and space. This research offers a unique opportunity to delve into the intersection of quantum mechanics, precision measurement, and the exploration of fundamental physics.
