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.
