Derevianko Group
We are theorists working at the intersection of atomic physics with the elementary particle and nuclear physics. We also develop high-precision many-body methods for atoms and apply these methods to emerging problems in ultracold quantum gasses, atomic clocks, and quantum computing.
Current Research Projects
- Parity and CP-violation in atoms and molecules
- Interface between nuclear and atomic physics
- Dipolar condensates and anisotropic collisions in the ultracold regime
- Quantum computing with complex atoms.
- Development of next-generation many-body methods of relativistic atomic structure. The very recent feat: derivation and calculation of 1,648 fourth-order diagrams.
- Atomic clocks
- Basic atomic properties: lifetimes, polarizabilities, etc.
- Computational physics: Large-scale calculations and advanced symbolic calculations with Mathematica
