Thesis Title: Design and Development of Weak Magnetic Field and First Order Gradient Coils (supervisor: Prof I.Kominis ) During my Diploma Thesis I designed a system of magnetic coils for the generation of weak magnetic fields (3 homogeneous components and five independent gradiends) inside a magnetic shielding. I calibrated the system of coils with a fluxgate magnetometer and a lock -in amplifier. The goal of manufacturing this system of eight coils was the elimination of the remaining magnetic fields inside the magnetic shield and the application of magnetic fields in the μG regime.

In particular I developed a Magneto-Optical Trap of Caesium (Cs) atoms. I worked on the development of a new non-destructive method for measuring the temperature of the Magneto-Optical Trap, through spin-noise spectroscopy.
Read MoreQuantum Measurements of Spin in Alkali Atoms & Biomolecules (supervisor: Prof I.Kominis) During my PhD Thesis I studied experimentally and theoretically a novel effect, the transfer of spin noise from one atomic species to another, through the mechanism of spin exchange. Essentially, we extend the foundational studies of spin exchange into the deeper layer of quantum fluctuations. The signature of spin noise exchange is an increase of the total spin noise power at low magnetic fields where the two-species spin…
