The Project

The project CONTRABASS is divided in three research work packages (WP) plus a fourth WP devoted to management and dissemination activities.
We will here summarize the main research goals of the first three WPs

  • WP1 – we will exploit numerical techniques based on deep reinforcement learning in order to optimize measurement and feedback control strategies for different quantum protocols, in particular for quantum state engineering and for the generation of quantum squeezing.
  • WP2 – we will develop new efficient numerical methods for many-body open quantum systems, merging quantum Monte Carlo variational methods and stochastic unraveling of master equations.
  • WP3 – we will focus on atomic ensembles as a physical platform and by leveraging on the techniques developed in the first two WPs, we will deliver both the theoretical framework and an experimental proof-of-principle demonstration for the generation of spin-squeezing in a cavity-enhanced optical clock with ultracold Strontium (Sr) atoms via measurement and feedback.
