Quantum Science Otago

Quantum Science Otago The Centre for Quantum Science is a University of Otago Research Centre hosted by the Department of Physics.

Quantum Science is a rapidly widening area of research and technology involving systems that fundamentally rely on the dynamics of matter and energy at very small scales - the quantum world of atoms and light. At QSO we have theoretical and experimental researchers working on a wide range of subfields in the areas of quantum optics, degenerate quantum gases, and laser science, including quantum information, atom-light interactions; quantum turbulence, open quantum systems; novel interactions and critical phenomena, disorder and artificial gauge fields, few atom systems and atom interferometry; cold atom collisions, and biomedical optics.

Fantastic work by Otago physicist Dr Susi Otto who has led a project developing a new portable atomic radio frequency sensor. A new form of antenna for radio waves has been demonstrated by the research team based in the Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies (DWC) using a small glass bulb containing an atomic v***r. Rydberg-atom based sensing technologies like this sensor can provide superior performance over current technologies as they are highly sensitive, small and have broad tunability. The DWC was recently awarded MBIE funding to leverage NZ’s niche expertise in quantum technology and leading-edge developments like this will make quantum sensors more robust and cost-effective. Great mahi Susi and team!
