MAWI is an European Doctoral Network within the Marie Sklodowska Curie Action currently in the phase of recruiting PhD students with an intrest in the topics of ultra cold atoms, matter waves, quantum sensings, and atomtronics.
The goal of the MAWI project is to train young researchers in the emerging fields of matter-wave interferometry and quantum sensors based on interferometric schemes. The striking progress in the manipulation of matter-waves at ultracold temperatures makes very realistic the possibility that a new generation of interferometers is implemented with ultracold atoms within a few years, with sensitivities and performances such to make them not only promising, but actually usable both in fundamental science and in technological applications. This progress is deeply related to the similarly remarkable advances in the field of atomtronics, a new field at the frontier of matter-wave optics seeking to realize atomic circuits in which ultracold atoms are manipulated in versatile optical or magnetic guides.
