Carlos and Swinburne colleagues commissioning the new microscope. From left, Sacha Hoinka, Paul Dyke, Ivan Herrera and Carlos Kuhn.
FLEET postdoc Dr Carlos Kuhn described his field of ultra-cold atomic science and the fundamental discoveries made in an interview with RRR science show Einstein a Go-Go.
The research will take a huge step forward this year with the commissioning of a new ARC-funded quantum-gas microscope, which will bridge the microscopic (atomic) and macroscopic (visible) worlds.
Carlos also described his work in schools to inspire a new generation of scientists, including teaching kids to code and experiments with water-powered rockets!
Systems driven far from thermal equilibrium exhibit qualitatively different physics, with new capabilities for dynamically controlling their behaviour. FLEET’s Research theme 3 investigates non-equilibrium schemes that can allow for ultra-low dissipation, realising a new paradigm for dissipationless devices.
Research focuses on non-equilibrium topological phenomena, in which a time-dependent driving force can change the nature of a system from conventional to topological. Outcomes of this theme will pave the way for future solid-state technologies.
