UltracoldQuantumGases^2.0

Not enough research to do I guess...

Gianluca Giorgi is joining the QI wing of the group today, and we finally have to annex other office space outside of KB202.

Jeremie Gillet has joined us as a post-doc, strengthening the atomic entanglement team even further.

Cathal O'Keeffe, Kevin O'Keffee and Ronan Murphy will join us in the next couple of weeks to carry out their final projects. Research on quantum walks, monopoles and cold fermions will receive a boost!

The group is growing, but at least everybody is still excited! (September 2011)

Chandrashekar Madaiah, Ciaran Phelan, Miguel Angel Garcia March and Steve Campbell have recently joined us a post-docs. It is getting really cramped in the office now....

Mark Kennedy has joined our group to carry out a summer projects about ultracold fermions.

Abstract can now be submitted for the Quantum Optics session at this years Photonics Ireland Conference, which will be held in the Grand Hotel Malahide, Dublin, from the 7th -9th September. The deadline is 20th April. (Abstract to other sessions can of course also be submitted now!)

Frictionless flow around the thesis centre has just come to its final end! Congratulations Suzanne!

Robert Hogan and Kyle McEnery have joined our group carry out their 4th year projects for the next 18 weeks.

Congratulations Suzanne! The basis for quantum computing with geometrical quantum numbers is solid.

If you need a qualified quantum mechanic, just give Tara a ring...Congratulations Tara!

Wearing these robes over your normal outfit is a custom invented before global warming had set in...Congratulations John!

Tadhg has won the UCC postgraduate showcase with a presentation about transport in the quantum world.

Finally we have an updated photo that shows the whole group! (May 2010)

The IRCSET call for post-gradual fellowships will open on the 16th of January. If you are interested in working with us and would like to apply, please contact us immediately.

We will be holding a Winter School on Quantum Information and Cold Atoms from the 25^th to the 27^th in Maynooth. Details can be found here. If you would like to attend, please let us know. There is no fee and everybody is welcome.

John Goold survived his viva today and his thesis work has earned him the right to wear an old-fashioned gown in some weeks time and receive a fancy piece of paper out of the hand of the President! Congratulations John!

Carlo DiFranco has joined the group as a new, IRCSET funded post-doc. This means we need a new group photo...

John Goold will be holding his viva next Monday, 2nd Nov, at 10am in G7. Everybody is invited to attend.

Cormac Ryan has joined our group to carry out his 4th year projects.

Finally we have a photo that shows the whole group! (October 2009)

Thomas Fogarty, Nicola LoGullo and Tadhg Morgan have started the post-graduate work with us!

Nicola LoGullo will start his MSc with us this fall, after being awarded an IRCSET scholarship.

Mark Tame from QUB will be visiting us next week (21st to 23rd) and give a talk on Thursday at 9.30 in the large Photonic Meeting Room in Tyndall. Title: 'Universal resources for measurement-based quantum computation'.

The IRCSET call for post-gradual fellowships will open on the 14th of January. If you are interested in working with us and would like to apply, please contact us immediately.

The IRCSET call for post-doctoral fellowships is open until the 16th of January. Details can be found on IRCSET's web page If you are interested in working with us and would like to apply, please contact us immediately.

Alex Petcu has joined our group to carry out a 4th year project joint with Dr. Nic Chormaics group.

The 1st North-South Quantum Information Meeting sponsored by Science Foundation Ireland is taking part from Wednesday, 29th, to Friday, 31st, in Rosscarbery. (Update: Pictures can be found at the Quantum Information Ireland Facebook group)

Padraic Morrissey and Thomas Fogarty have joined our group do carry out their 4th year projects.

Libby Heany from Leeds University is visiting us. Seminar at 3pm, 24th September, Photonics Meeting Room, Tyndall.

Suzanne has won the competition in which the public was asked to vote for their favourite Science proposal. This competition was a supported by DCU, Discover Science & Engineering and The Science Gallery. Details can be found here and here.

Lauren Rutherford from QUB is visiting us.

Damien Middleton, Colm Coughlan and Padraig Brick have joined out group as summer students and Jimmy Brophy is working with us under the STAR programme.
