The first QU-ATTO beamtimes at Elettra–FERMI have been successfully completed!

Five QU-ATTO doctoral candidates participated in their first beamtimes, which took place at the Low Density Matter (LDM) beamline and the Elastic and Inelastic Scattering (EIS) TIMER beamline hosted at FERMI; using attosecond pulses generated by the seeded free-electron laser, they investigated atoms, molecules, and thin films.
During these experiments, the doctoral candidates had the opportunity to meet and discuss with other PIs of the network, get to know each other, exchange ideas, and collaborate closely on their first joint research activities.

The first virtual meeting of the QU-ATTO PhD students took place today!
A great opportunity for the doctoral candidates to meet each other, share their backgrounds, and start building connections across the network.

September 1, 2024: official starting date of the QU-ATTO network.

The QU-ATTO Doctoral Network officially kicked off with a successful virtual meeting on Friday, September 6th, 2024.
Funded by the Horizon Europe Programme, QU-ATTO is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Training Network that unites 14 academic institutions, three large-scale facilities, four industrial companies, and two outreach partners across 10 European countries.
We are accepting applications from talented and motivated doctoral candidates eager to advance the fields of quantum information and attosecond science.
