Research topics

I am working on two projects. The first is an experiment with ultracold Rb atoms. We cool atoms up to BEC and realize the atomic interferometer. One of the aims is to find connection between gravity and quantum theory. The second is the cooling of nanodiamonds. We want to cool a nanodiamond to the ground state. This is not realized yet in the world. And the further aim is to demonstrate interference of nanodiamonds. It could also help to find connection between gravity and quantum.
