Atoms interacting with radiation constitute a privileged test bed for the most advanced physical theories.

In these systems, the predictions of Quantum Physics such as the uncertainty principle, quantum non-locality and teleportation have been verified with extraordinary precision.

In addition to its essential role in the development of Physics, atomic physics studies have led to important technological advances such as the invention of the laser or the construction of atomic clocks and other measuring instruments of extraordinary precision.

In the Quantum and Atomic Physics laboratory we experimentally and theoretically explore various aspects of the interaction between light fields and atoms with special interest in phenomena that reveal the quantum nature of atomic states and radiation.
