Cretan Matter Waves Group
Our research proposal “Cold Atom Rubidium Interferometer in Orbit for Quantum Accelerometry – Pathfinder Mission Preparation” (CARIOQA-PMP) has been approve by the EU!
The objective of the CARIOQA-PMP project is to enable Europe to deploy quantum gravimeters/accelerometers in space through a Quantum Pathfinder Mission within the decade.
The future CARIOQA of the EU is to map earth’s gravity field using

Atomtronics is an emerging field that aims to manipulate ultracold atom moving in matter wave circuits for both fundamental studies in quantum science and technological applications. In this colloquium, we review recent progress in matter-wave circuitry and atomtronics-based quantum technology. After a short introduction to the basic physical principles and the key experimental techniques needed to realize atomtronic systems, we describe the physics of matter-waves in simple circuits such as ring traps and two-terminal systems. The main experimental observations and outstanding questions are discussed. We also present possible applications to a broad range of quantum technologies, from quantum sensing with atom interferometry to future quantum simulation and quantum computation architectures.
Wolf von Klitzing’s colloquium on Matterwave Optics as a Quantum Technology is now available on Youtube.
Giannis Drougakis passed the viva for his PhD with flying colors !!!
Well done Dr Drougakis !!
🙂
Unfortunately, this year we will again not be able to have a real Researchers’ Night with great experiments for the public. However, there will be a number of online events. Do have a look at researchersnight.gr/chat-lab/, where you can book a chat with Wolf von Klitzing.
The GiaSaaS mission to send a Greek satellite into space has just been selected. It will be lead by OHB-Hellas and encompasses a Pan-Greek consortium of companies and universities, including the Libre-Space-Foundation, the National Observatory of Athens, the The Microprocessors Laboratory and Digital Systems Lab of the NTUA, the Greek Center for Security Studies (KEMEA).
Vangelis Tzardis is has been accepted a the PhD in Frederick University in Cyprus to work on the identification and prediction of brain tumors from MR images.
Congratulations from the BEC team!

08/2020 – today PhD Student on the theory of nanoLace.
Apostolos has joined us in August 2020 to work on the theory of matterwaves and how to use magnetic lenses and RF-fields to produce coherent lenses and mirrors. The final aim is to create nano-scale matter-wave images
