IAP Research Groups

Prof. Dr. Sebastian Hofferberth

Our group explores how we can create strong optical nonlinearity in a medium at light levels of individual photons. Our goal is to realize a system that enables full control over the quantum state of few photon light pulses.

Prof. Dr. Martin Weitz

Our group conducts experiments on the following topics: quantum physics of ultracold atomic gases, equilibrium thermodynamics of light, and laser cooling of dense gases.

Prof. Dr. Daqing Wang

We research the interaction between light and matter at the nanoscopic and quantum level. In particular, we focus on understanding and controlling these interactions among single photons, atoms and molecules

Dr. Julian Schmitt

Our experimental research is focused on quantum fluids of light to study emergent phenomena both in and out of equilibrium - such as superfluidity or turbulence.

Prof. Dr. Dieter Meschede

The experiments from the Quantum Technology group are currently being shut down.
