Partners

The Network will deal with a technically very advanced and difficult subject, in which progress will be achieved by collaboration between internationally leading groups. A large part of the collaborative information has been spread among the research groups through direct contact of young researchers. They are able to transmit a level of information on technical parts often not published in internationally established journals. The cohesion operation between the different research groups is based on the principle of complementary scientific research knowledge, because progress achieved by applying advanced technical and technological research tools to samples of cold quantum gases lead to progress towards solving difficulties in the understanding of the atomic properties in separate cold samples.
