Marcel Morillas

11/2023 Visiting Student on BEC1

I am Marcel Morillas, I completed my undergraduate studies at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Then, I pursued an MSc. in Photonics at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, where I did my Master’s Thesis on simulating one and two-mode squeezed light in topological photonic lattices as a member of the Quantum and Atom Optics Group (QAOS) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Beyond my scientific pursuits, I enjoy watching and playing sports, especially American football and playing the bass guitar.

Nobel Laureate, Alain Aspect, in the BEC lab

A nice photo with him in the BEC lab with Jean Dalibard, Alain Aspect and Yun Ye.

The 2017 Onassis Lectures in Physics on Quantum frontiers explored with cold atoms, molecules and photons was in the Honour of Serge Haroche. This year’s Nobel Prize Winner, Alain Aspect, was also one of the speakers.

Our EU-ITN proposal has bee ranked First in the physics panel for the whole of Europe

Our proposal “Matter-Wave Interferometers” (MAWI) for an EU Doctoral Training Network has been ranked first in the Physics Panel in Europe! (the only one with a score of 99%).

The Cretan BEC group has hence one PhD position to fill. Please write to Wolf von Klitzing for details.
