Q-DYNAMO | Quantum Dynamic Control of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Processes

Original description

The Project represents a coordinated experimental/theoretical effort in developing and testing
quantum protocols. Within a worldwide academy and industry effort to develop quantum
computers, based on quantum qubits and quantum Hamiltonian, the quantum protocols, i.e. well
designed Hamiltonian acting on the qubits, represent important steps. Even if the qubits offer
enormous computation power, the quantum target may be reached more efficiently, more rapidly
and with more stability using properly designed quantum protocols. Within this Project These new
protocols will be tested on the natural qubits easily assessed in worldwide research laboratories:
simple atoms and molecules. The experimental and theoretical tools should be classified with the
broad area of quantum optics, where the photons, typically from laser sources, create the control
quantum protocols, and the atoms/molecules constitute the qubits where quantum information is
stored and maipulated. The Project will apply this quantum control approach to open theoretical
and experimental problems such as: implementation of a molecular all-optical spin switch via
control of spin-orbit interaction, realization of molecular orientation, superadiabatic protocols
for the coherent control of cold atoms and molecule, control of ultracold chemical reactions,
and spin-polarized quantum emitters.
The objectives of the project will be achieved via an intensive transfer of knowledge
among the EU and TC participants in the consortium during the carefully planned secondments.
The consortium members are well established specialists in various aspects of physics of light-matter
interactions, including theoretical, experimental and numerical techniques, and therefore
all participants will benefit from the SE scheme for staff exchange to collaborate and achieve
new results in this area. The gender balance in the consortium is well kept, with three of the team
leaders being female.
