Theory Group, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany.
Research fields: Quantum Information, Cold Atoms / Condensed Matter, Quantum Optics. Our main goals can be summarized as follows. First, we propose and analyze experiments that aim at observing and discovering interesting quantum phenomena in atomic systems. Second, we investigate how atomic systems can be controlled and manipulated at the quantum level using lasers, and how such systems can be scaled up in a controlled way. Third, we participate in the development of a theory of Quantum Information which will be the basis of several applications in the world of communication and computation once microscopic systems can be completely controlled at the quantum level. Four, we apply the ideas and concepts developed in the field of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information to other fields, in particular that of Condensed Matter Physics. Our research is done in close collaboration with theoretical and experimental groups in our institute and outside.
