Our research

Welcome! We are carrying out research in the field of quantum optics and quantum many-body systems using ultracold atomic and molecular quantum gases at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the Ludwig Maximilians University. Furthermore, our group is part of the Munich Quantum Center.

Join us!

We are always looking for Master students, PhD students and Postdocs.

Get to know our teammembers!

Our entire group: Bachelor, Master and PhD Students, Postdoctoral Researchers and Senior Scientists as well as Technical and Administrative staff.

Realization of an anomalous Floquet topological system with ultracold atoms

July 02, 2020

Topological phases of matter have attracted a lot of interest due to their unique electronic properties that often result in exotic surface or boundary modes, whose existence is rooted in the…

Floquet Prethermalization in a Bose-Hubbard System

May 27, 2020

The periodic driving of both classical and quantum systems can reveal new phenomena without an analog in non-driven systems. Nonetheless, periodically driven systems do not fulfill energy…

Parametric Instabilities of Interacting Bosons in Periodically Driven 1D Optical Lattices

February 11, 2020

New states of matter can arise when a system is exposed to a periodic drive, such as by irradiating a solid with light or by mechanically shaking a gas of ultracold atoms. While experiments have…

Time-resolved observation of spin-charge deconfinement in fermionic Hubbard chains

January 10, 2020

Elementary particles carry several quantum numbers, such as charge and spin. However, in an ensemble of strongly interacting particles, the emerging degrees of freedom can fundamentally differ from…
