Quantum Relativistic Laboratory (QRAB)

QRAB is a Spanish national research project in the Modalidad "Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2023/Investigación No Orientada/Coordinado" in the Área/Subarea "Ciencias físicas/Física cuántica y de la materia", running from 1 September (2024) until 31 December (2027), with an installment of 50k€ for ICMM.

QRAB brings together topics of quantum optics and many-body physics—which it fits in a subproject labelled QUANTUM—together with wavepacket propagation in two-dimensional (2D) materials, with a focus on changes of reference frames made experimentally available thanks to Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW)—which it fits in the subproject labelled RELATIVITY. The theoretical exploitation of these themes, both on their own and in their combination, is to be brought to experimental implementations in a third subproject labelled LABORATORY.

Principal Investigators of the respective activities are:

1. QUANTUM: Elena del Valle (WP1) and Francesca Marchetti (WP2).
2. RELATIVITY: Fabrice P. Laussy (WP3).
3. LAB: Snezana Lazic (WP4).
