A new PhD course is starting, and with it comes a wave of new students joining our team.

An injection of fresh energy, curiosity, and ideas!

Welcome to Michael Stiven Caracas Núñez (BaLi), Èlia Solé Cardona (Dy), Alessandro Vanni (Yb Tweezers), and Alberto Terenzi (Li).

We are looking for applicants who either hold or expect to obtain a Master’s degree in physics or a related field and have a strong interest in atomic physics, photonics, quantum optics, and quantum technology. Join our world-class research environment to explore quantum sciences with ultracold matter.

The new PhD call by the University of Florence is out! Contact us to devise together a PhD project to be carried out in our labs. There are two PhD programs available to join our labs: the doctoral programme in physics and astronomy and the international doctorate in atomic and molecular photonics.

Application deadline: June 16, 2025 at 12:00 PM (CEST / Central European Summer Time)

On October 30th-31st, we held the second Florence-Innsbruck joint meeting at the INO-CNR headquarters in Arcetri with the research groups on Ultracold Atoms from IQOQI and the University of Innsbruck. It was a great opportunity for the young researchers to discuss recent scientific advancements in a friendly atmosphere, surrounded by the beautiful setting of Arcetri. Many thanks to Giulia, Francesca, and Giacomo for the organization! See you in Innsbruck next year!

On 17th-19th April we were in Innsbruck for a joint meeting with the research groups on Ultracold Atoms at IQOQI and University of Innsbruck. Great to be there discussing ultracold physics with old friends of ours and so many young researchers!

Many thanks for the perfect organization and warm hospitality in Innsbruck. See you in Florence next year!
