Integrated Research Training Group at the DFG Collaborative Research Centre "OSCAR – Open System Control of Atomic and Photonic Matter" (SFB/TRR 185)

The vision is to utilize external drive and properly tailored reservoirs to counteract the effects of generic, uncontrolled environments and to create a toolbox of open system control for few- and many-body quantum systems.

Short Description

We aim to understand the underlying mechanisms of open systems and to exploit them as new tools going far beyond what is possible in closed systems. The research field of open-system control of quantum matter is a very recent one. During the second funding period the CRC/TR 185 has taken a key role in shaping this field. The experimental platforms underlying our research are atoms and photons, for which the technology of manipulation and detection are most advanced and a microscopic control as well as a detailed understanding of system and environment is possible. The systems reach from driven photon condensates over single atoms, which are coupled to quantum light, to ultracold atomic quantum gases.
