| Description | We explored the analogy between soft matter systems, such as colloids, and Rydberg gases, and establish a basis for a quantum emulation of (augmented) soft matter systems using atomic gases, with the aim to break new ground in the understanding of non-equilibrium behaviour of many-body quantum systems. |
| Exploitation Route | Academic impact, through a major advance in our understanding of systems far-from equilibrium and ability to control the properties of complex materials. Technological impact, from the experimental part of the programme in Durham. Training, as we produced highly trained personnel at all levels. And Outreach. |
