Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
The well-known 1935 paper of Einstein et al.(EPR) leads to the famous Bell theorem,which rules out local realism－a result that has been called "the most profound discovery of Science" .The Schrodinger cat paradox raises an even more important issue－how to reconcile quantum realities with classical realities at themacroscopic level. Specific research topics include:Signatures of macroscopic superpositions and entanglement; The Bell and EPR paradox in macroscopic systems.
Bose-Einstein Condensates and Atom Lasers
Atom lasers, or BEC exist at temperatures below one nano-Kelvin－a billion times colder thaninterstellar space. The bosonic atoms occupy an identical quantum state, so BECs are quantum systems on a macroscopic scale, with atoms behaving as waves but having particle-like qualities when detected.We study on the dephasing,decoherence and entanglement effects in BEC interferometry.
