Using ultracold atomic vapors a research team at the University of Rochester will simulate and emulate problems from a range of subfields of physics. The team uses carefully prepared laser pulses to shape the atomic cloud in such a way that its subsequent behavior models physical phenomena important to problems in other areas such as material science and nuclear spin resonance (the phenomena at the heart of technologies such as MRI).A key impact is the creation of knowledge useful for the development of quantum technologies and novel materials. Of equal importance is that the research will be central to the training of the next generations of scientists. Dilute samples of ultracold atoms have already been used to realize high-performance atomic clocks and gyroscopes. As a project in AMO physics, the research techniques provide an ideal training ground for scientists and engineers. Students trained in these fields are highly sought after in academic, government and industrial jobs and play a key role in the US scientific workforce. The project is highly interdisciplinary, combining techniques of optics, atomic and molecular physics, with those of solid-state and condensed matter physics.

罗切斯特大学的一个研究小组将使用超冷原子蒸气来模拟和模拟一系列物理学子领域的问题。 该团队使用精心准备的激光脉冲来塑造原子云，使其后续行为模拟对材料科学和核自旋共振（MRI 等技术的核心现象）等其他领域的问题很重要的物理现象。一个关键的影响是创造对量子技术和新型材料的开发有用的知识。 同样重要的是，这项研究将成为下一代科学家培训的核心。 超冷原子的稀释样品已被用于实现高性能原子钟和陀螺仪。作为 AMO 物理领域的一个项目，该研究技术为科学家和工程师提供了理想的训练场地。在这些领域接受过培训的学生在学术、政府和工业工作中备受追捧，并在美国科学劳动力中发挥着关键作用。该项目是高度跨学科的，结合了光学、原子和分子物理技术以及固态和凝聚态物理技术。
