Summary:

Gerbier is a permanent researcher in LKB's BEC team, working on spinor and lattice-confined Bose-Einstein condensates and their use as quantum simulators of strongly-correlated many-body physics.

Department(s)/lab(s): Physics (LKB) | Bose-Einstein Condensates Team @ ENS Paris
Summary:

Lopes is a permanent member of LKB's BEC team studying correlations and quantum-gas dynamics in ultracold atomic ensembles, including momentum-space correlation measurements analogous to Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometry for matter waves.

Department(s)/lab(s): Institute of Physics (QUANTUM) | AG Windpassinger - Experimental Quantum Optics and Quantum Information @ JGU
Summary:

Windpassinger's group works on cold neutral atoms as both a platform for fundamental light-matter physics and a deployable sensing technology. The fundamental line uses dysprosium -- the most magnetic element -- to study light propagation in dense dipolar media, where interatomic spacings fall below the optical wavelength and light-induced plus magnetic dipole-dipole interactions produce cooperative effects (superradiance, subradiance); controlled transport in optical dipole traps and microfocusing let them tune from single-atom to collective behaviour. The applied line builds ultracold-atom quantum sensors that survive outside the lab: atom interferometers and BEC sources flown in the Bremen drop tower, on sounding rockets, and on the ISS, aimed at inertial sensing, gravimetry and tests of fundamental constants under microgravity. Relative to the established NV-ensemble quantum-sensing playbook (DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry at pT/sqrt(Hz) ensemble sensitivity), this is the complementary 'cold and fragile but absolutely calibrated' end of the sensing spectrum; the group's real distinguishing asset for a postdoc is the space/microgravity engineering pipeline, which is rare. The group states it is continuously looking for motivated researchers and lists open positions via the PI.
