We are immensely proud of Ludovica Donati, who successfully defended her PhD thesis, “Generating quantum coherence with incoherent radiation”. Her research deals with the production of Fano coherence in atomic systems induced by interactions with incoherent radiation, paving the way for the first detection of such phenomena on this platform. This achievement marks an important milestone in her academic career and we look forward to her future contributions to the scientific community. Congratulations, Dr. Donati! .

Atoms few, damned but quick... Magnetic fields sources, RF antennas, optical structures, all integrated in a micro-chip with a Bose-Einstein condensate a few hundred microns from the surface: an "Atom chip". The benefits are higher trap frequencies, shorter evaporative time, better atom-field coupling plus a much (much) cheaper set-up. The goal of our experiment is to make the best use of Atom chips for quantum technological applications.
