Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics

Βι¶ΉΣ³»­

Our work includes both experimental and theoretical approaches, with a particular focus on quantum physics and the rapidly developing field of quantum technology. Our four experimental groups and three independent research faculty form the core of the Βι¶ΉΣ³»­ Centre for Quantum Technologies which was set up by the University to support and promote quantum research as an area of particular excellence at Βι¶ΉΣ³»­.
