Abstract:The ARC Centre for quantum-atom optics (ACQAO) combines the talent
and resources of several teams across Australia. Recently we have
made good progress with our experiments and theory in both the
generation and use of laser beams with strong nonclassical
properties and the control of matter waves, such as atom lasers.
This talk will summarize some of the new results . Particular
emphasis will be given to experiments on spatial multimode fields
which allow novel tests of quantum mechanics as well as technology
for spatial sensing and spatial quantum encoding beyond the
conventional quantum noise limit.
