Welcome to
Ultracold Atoms and Molecules Research
at the University of Washington
Through the orchestrated use of lasers, electronics, and ultra-high vacuum technology it is possible to cool atomic gases to amazingly low temperatures - nanoKelvins - where their behavior is completely dominated by quantum mechanics. These ultracold gases may be precisely manipulated by the delicate use of lasers and other electromagnetic fields. Such techniques allow us to better understand fundamental physics and provide applications such as time standards, inertial sensing, and quantum computing. Recent advances in this field include Bose-Einstein condensation of atomic gases, Fermi superfluidity in atomic mixtures, and the creation of ultracold dipolar molecules.

We currently have openings for two new graduate students and one post-doc. Interested parties should contact Deep Gupta
