The Institute of Cosmos Sciences researcher Bruno Julià will give a talk about Quantum Cold next Monday July 26 at the Science Enthusiasts Association Sopa de Partículas at the Guinardó Community Center.
As Dr. Julià explains, «We will visit the history of the concept cold and our hability to cool down objects and materials. This will be the main theme along which we will arrive to near absolute zero temperatures. At this point, Quantum Mechanics starts playing a crucial role, giving birth to new states of matter such as Bose-Einstein condensates and to properties unknow in the classical world as uperconductivity or superfluidity». If you are curious about the mysterious properties of ultracold matter, don't miss this conference!

Projecte
Simulations of Quantum Mechanics
Simulations of Quantum Mechanics starts as a collaborative project involving undergraduate students, professors and researchers. It is based on the development of computer programs, created by students under the supervision of professors, which allow introducing basic concepts of quantum mechanics and the physics of ultracold gases to the students of baccalaureate and degree. The programs carried out aim to be rigorous from the scientific point of view, solving the relevant equations in a precise manner, combined with a graphical interface that allows users to interact with them in a pleasant way.
OBJECTIVES:
Encourage cooperation among seniors of degree
Bring seniors in the research that takes place in our department
Produce a useful tool for the dissemination of science at the high school level
