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.

Magnetically mediated hole pairing in fermionic ladders of ultracold atoms

January 19, 2023

Conventional superconductivity emerges from pairing of charge carriers – electrons or holes – mediated by phonons. In many unconventional superconductors, the pairing mechanism is conjectured to be…

Ultracold Sticky Collisions: Theoretical and Experimental Status

January 13, 2023

Collisional complexes, which are formed as intermediate states in molecular collisions, are typically short-lived and decay within picoseconds. However, in ultracold collisions involving bialkali…

Immanuel Bloch named Clarivate Citation Laureate

September 21, 2022

Immanuel is one of 20 scientists to be named this year's Clarivate Citation Laureate, being one of four recipients in the physics category to receive the award for his "ground-breaking research on…

Evaporation of microwave-shielded polar molecules to quantum degeneracy

July 28, 2022

Ultracold polar molecules offer strong electric dipole moments and rich internal structure, which makes them ideal building blocks to explore exotic quantum matter, implement novel quantum information…
