Alessio Ciamei has received an ERC Starting Grant for his project COMPASS: "An ultracold Molecule Platform for fundamental Asymmetry Searches".

You can find the theoretical proposal behind COMPASS in his recent preprint written in collaboration with the group of Prof. M. Tomza (University of Warsaw): https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.16760

 Congratulations!

Congratulations to Stefano for obtaining his well-deserved PhD degree (cum laude!) with his thesis titled "Ultracold ⁶Li-⁵³Cr mixtures: From resonantly interacting fermions to paramagnetic bosonic dimers"! 

And may the future bring you many more successful results. Daje!

Check out the thesis here.

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)

The Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Florence starts this year its Master degree in Physical and Astrophysical Sciences
