Lab Tour with Pau Farrera @ the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics

Pau Farrera is a physicist in the Quantum Dynamics Division, led by professor Gerhard Rempe, at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. He finished his Ph.D. in Barcelona in 2019. Since then, he has been trapping single photons and atoms at MPQ to study their interaction in specially designed cavities to explore the quantum information and networking process further. Photons and atoms are two main players for storing and transmitting quantum information. During this lab tour, Pau Farrera explains their unique properties and how they are used at the MPQ to develop a future quantum network.

Extremely easy to follow way to understand how Quantum Computers are build! Congratulations Pau and MPQ for the video.

Thank you for the enriching tour of MPQ, Seeing such a rich optical bench awakens my innate curiosity and gives me motivation to follow a research career in the fluid of cold atoms - Atomic and molecular Optics.

Thank you for this wonderful video. I wonder how a single atom is isolated and trapped, and how do you know that there's only one atom in the cavity.

[@zainkarriem6344]

Thank you for a very interesting video. It is amazing how you can trap a single atom! Also, as you mentioned quantum systems are always in a state of superposition and fragile, so it always amazes me to see that what you are doing is even possible! Exciting work indeed!

Thanks for the fascinating tour and explanation!

so this is for maybe chemical specific lasers that can be used for storage of resources rather than any actual quantum or Planck length research.

Amazing presenter and very interesting work.

A map for space travel! finally , so we will be developing travel and life in space before interfering with any planetary resources

How long does it take to set up such a complicated optical system? And do you usually make big changes to the system?

So cool🔥

[@sinxcosxdx]

thinkpad is so popular for graduate students

[@skoolscribe3918]

physical traps rather than optical traps
