The first Canadian Center for Research on Ultra-Cold Systems, CRUCS is a research institute that combines the research programs and infrastructure of UBC faculty to study the creation, properties and technological applications of ultracold atoms, molecules, plasmas and condensed matter. CRUCS is distinguished by a strong synergy of experimental and theoretical research, a wide variety of experimental approaches and a diverse yet unifying set of questions pursued under a single roof of the joint facility. CRUCS supports graduate students, postdoctoral research fellows and visiting scientists, hosts an AMO seminar series and serves as an international hub for research on ultracold matter in Canada. With the expertise of the center's PIs and the financial support from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, it is our ambition to be the world's leading center for research on and with ultracold systems.
