Quantum simulations with ultracold atoms: beyond standard optical lattices 

    Hauke, Philipp Hans-Jürgen (Date of defense: 2013-04-05)

    Many outstanding problems in quantum physics, such as high-Tc superconductivity or quark confinement, are still - after decades of research - awaiting commonly accepted explanations. One reason is that such systems are ...

    Towards efficient quantum repeater nodes based on solid-state quantum memories 

    Duranti, Stefano (Date of defense: 2023-03-24)

    (English) Quantum repeaters are the foundation of future long-distance quantum networks. In most architectures, their functional core is constituted by quantum memories, which are devices that can store and re-emit photonic ...
