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.

Superlattices under the microscope

January 14, 2025

One of the most promising paths in the field of quantum simulation consists in studying interacting ultracold atoms in optical lattices, thus realizing the famous Hubbard model mimicking the behavior…

Formation of individual stripes in a mixed-dimensional cold-atom Fermi–Hubbard System

January 09, 2025

The relation between d-wave superconductivity and stripes is fundamental to the understanding of ordered phases in high-temperature cuprate superconductors.

Local Readout and Control of Current and Kinetic Energy Operators in Optical Lattices

August 12, 2024

Using quantum gas microscopes, the wavefunction of a quantum system can be probed with microscopic resolution through projective measurements. By nature of the optical imaging techniques that are used…

Real-space detection and manipulation of topological edge modes with ultracold atoms

June 10, 2024

Topological materials, in contrast to "ordinary" materials host edge modes which enable dissipation-free transport along the system's boundary. The transport enabled by the edge mode is robust to…
