Novel Ultraviolet and vacuum-UV ultrafast sources
The development of novel ultrafast light sources that allow for fine measurement and control of matter in the quantum scale, and therefore have the long-term potential to become tools in the development of new quantum technologies

Cold Molecules
Aims to cool a wide variety of molecules to micro-Kelvin temperatures, trap them for minutes at a time, and develop all the tools required for the complete control at the quantum level of all the degrees of freedom.
