Welcome on the webpage of the Ultracold Atoms group led by David Guéry-Odelin at the Université Paul Sabatier in Toulouse.
We are part of the Laboratoire Collisions, Agrégats, Réactivité (LCAR) of the IRSAMC institute, and currently work on the physics of guided atom lasers.
July 2nd, 2010: The paper Classical phase-space approach for coherent matter waves by F. Impens and D. Guéry-Odelin, Phys. Rev. A 81, 065602 (2010), is now published.
April 28th, 2010: The paper "Mesoscopic Ensembles of Polar Bosons in Triple-Well Potentials" is now published: Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 170404 (2010) (pdf).
April 19th, 2010: We obtain our first 87Rb BEC in Toulouse!
February 12th, 2010: The paper "Fast Optimal Frictionless Atom Cooling in Harmonic Traps: Shortcut to Adiabaticity" is now published: Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 063002 (2010) (pdf).
November 24th, 2009: Thierry Lahaye receives the 2009 Louis Armand prize of the French Academy of Sciences (more info...).
November 19th, 2009: The review paper "The physics of dipolar bosonic quantum gases" is now published: Rep Prog Phys 72, 126401 (2009) (pdf).
November 2009: Prof. David Guéry-Odelin has been appointed as a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF).
