We are expecting to establish a research facility entitled Quantum-Atom Optics (QAO) group as a working part of the Quantum Matter and Quantum Information (QMQI) Group. The main goals are to provide access to researchers, to offer flawless information that helps narrowing theoretical window on the behaviors of the ultra-cold substances and to assist physicists to aim at only what quantum matter, in particular the BEC, may offer. We also focus on correlated phenomena of ultra-cold atoms/molecules in order to explore physics at the interface between the quantum gases and condensed matter using the BEC trapped in optical lattice, particularly the superfluid-Mott insulator phase transition. Cold atomic quantum gases trapped in optical lattice with controllable interactions will be studied to construct robust quantum memory which will lead to a functional structure of quantum computing.
