Particular focal points of research are:

  • quantum simulation of condensed matter phenomena (e.g. high-Tc superconductivity)
  • quantum phases in optical lattices and with novel interactions
  • quantum measurement and quantum information
  • atom-surface interactions
  • atom-photon interfaces
  • applications (quantum sensors)
