Thermodynamics in the quantum regime

European Network 'Thermodynamics in the quantum regime' Launched

The kick-off of a large-scale European network for research in 'Thermodynamics in the Quantum Regime' was celebrated in Brussels on Tues 30 April 2013. The successful proposalĀ for one of the prestigious COST network grants, funded by the ESF, was led by UCL's researcher Dr Janet Anders.

Quantum Magic

In a recent STFC newsletter, UK news from CERN, Dr Stephen Hogan describes how he, and a team of international collaborators are investigating the properties of antimatter. The AEGIS experiment at the Antiproton Decelerator, in CERN has been designed to exploit techniques Stephen developed to accelerate antihydrogen atoms in excited states; to transport them and make beams suitable for measurements of the acceleration of antimatter in the Earth's gravitational field.

Evidence for a T-Shape Break-Up Pattern in the Triple Photoionization of Li

Evidence for a T-Shape Break-Up Pattern in the Triple Photoionization of Li

According to Wannier's law, when a single photon is absorbed with energy just above the fragmentation threshold, the electrons in a multi-electron atom break-up in the most symmetric way.

Dr. Stephen Hogan

Welcome to the website of the group of Dr. Stephen Hogan. Our research is centred around the study of atoms and molecules in highly excited Rydberg states. In particular we are interested in exploiting samples in these states for:

  1. Applications in quantum information processing
  2. Studies of cold molecules
  3. Experiments with antihydrogen.

If you are interested in joining the group as a postdoctoral researcher or for a PhD, MSc or MSci/BSc project please contact Stephen Hogan for further information.
