Théorique, numérique
Ultracold atoms coupled to an optical cavity can form exotic quantum states, like supersolids, where the superfluid order is accompanied by a self-induced density modulation, typical of solid crystal. The scope of the internship is to explore the behavior of atom-cavity systems via numerical simulations based on phase-space methods, where local quantum field operators are replaced by classical variables, obeying stochastic differential (Ito) equations. The student will develop a basic python code to solve such equations and study the underlying rich physics.
