Funded Activity Summary

Superfluidity and metrology with ring shaped Bose-Einstein condensates. This proposal will answer a fundamental question about superfluidity, expanding our understanding of quantum many-particle systems. Australia excels in the fields of ultra-cold gases and quantum physics, and this proposal will further strengthen our international standing in these flagship areas of modern physics. The project will train a number of students in high-level technology and computing skills that are in high demand in our growing knowledge-based economy. Improved understanding of how Bose-Einstein condensates behave will assist in their development as sensitive measurement devices, with possible intellectual property benefits in the future as we learn to tame these unique systems.
