Oleksiy Onishchenko describes the design and construction of a new versatile strontium gas machine with envisioned quantum gas microscope capability.

Tom Bannink presents results for various quantum and stochastic processes. First, he looks at nonlocal t-player games, showing that for many general classes of such games, the entangled winning probability can not be ...

Colloids mimic biological matter in their bottom-up hierarchical organisation, making them an interesting platform for developing self-assembling designer materials. Simon Stuij presents a colloidal system for ...

The control of the interaction between light and matter is of paramount importance in many modern technologies, with applications ranging from sensing to telecommunication and quantum information. Nanophotonic ...

Quantum computers can dramatically increase the speed of certain calculations, but are still difficult to construct in practice. Koen Groenland focuses on near-term experiments with devices containing small numbers ...

Vishnu Sivadasan uses detailed models to simulate the shear thickening process in suspensions. In this way he want to gain more insight into the role of particle interactions and the resulting microstructures in ...

Neutrinos have always been elusive particles. They have mass, but are described as massless in the Standard Model. This leads to the question of how the mass of neutrinos is generated. According to the Standard ...

Metal halide perovskites have proven their potential for low-cost and highly efficient solar cells and are arguably one of the most promising materials for next-generation tandem solar cells in combination with ...

Evgenia Kontoleta investigates how optical resonances can be used in nanostructures for the local synthesis of new materials, the aim being to design ordered nanostructures that can be used in photocatalysis.

The aim of Gillian Lustermans' research is to improve the precision of predictions resulting from the Standard Model by using factorization and resummation.

David Davtyans investigates different challenges encountered on the way to developing a quantum platform based on an atom chip with Rydberg atoms.

Irfan Ilgin investigates the hypothesis that gravity is an emergent phenomenon.

The first achievement of a pure Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) in 1995 was the first time a pure quantum mechanical state of matter was realised. This new ability to control matter sparked the revolution in ultracold ...

Dark matter has been a mystery to physicists for decades. The fact that we haven't seen it means that it must interact with with normal matter so rarely that it has no effect on the Earth. By building detectors deep ...

Luka Gartner studies microscopic and micromechanical characterizations of glassy configurations. The first focus is on the mechanical properties of glasses in the context of yielding transition, which occurs as the ...

In his research, Arnon Lesage aimed to gain insight into how certain nanomaterials behave. He investigated how influence can be exerted on the photoluminescence of these materials and how this can be used.

Jorrit Kruthoff studies AdS space-times and asked what constraints a CFT needs to satisfy in order to describe the gravitational physics in the bulk. In particular, he focuses on Einstein gravity and its bulk phase ...

Mohsin Qasi investigates the physics behind the influence of spatial confinement and crystallization modifying additives on the crystallization of the most commonly used salt, NaCl.

Lars Aalsma’s research focusses on deriving macroscopic predictions of quantum gravity. Recent studies suggest that quantum gravity effects do not always decouple at low energies and Aalsma examines this phenomenon ...

Gabriele Sabato searched for Dark Matter via the decay of Higgs bosons produced in the proton-proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
