About the Budker Lab
Our, research is focused on testing fundamental symmetries of nature in experiments that utilize the methods of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, as well as on developing new methods and applications of quantum sensing. This includes:
- development of all-optical sensors based on atomic vapors and color centers in diamond;
- zero- to ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF-NMR);
- searches for dark matter constituents (GNOME, CASPEr, and other experiments);
- physics of sodium laser guide stars;
- measurement of atomic parity violation and other symmetry tests in ytterbium and dysprosium;
- theory
These efforts incorporate elements of elementary particle and nuclear physics, solid-state physics, and physical chemistry.
We are affiliated with Helmholtz-Institut Mainz, Excellence Cluster PRISMA PLUS, and the JGU PI QUANTUM.
