Research interests
There are two approaches to investigate the fundamental properties of
particles. At CERN the Large Hadron Collider accelerates the particles close to
the speed of light and deduces their properties by smashing them together. The
alternative approach is to cool the particles to temperatures near absolute
zero. Specifically, in my research the particles are restricted to bosons and a
given bosonic gas near absolute zero falls into a Bose-Einstein Condensate
(BEC). I'm studying non-classical properties of this BEC in a double well
potential.
