Welcome!
Our group performs experiments on quantum physics of ultracold atoms, high resolution laser spectroscopy of single trapped ions and antimatter spectroscopy. We are located at the LMU University of Munich and at the Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching.

The Coblentz Society has elected Dr. Nathalie Picqué as this year’s recipient of the Coblentz Award. Dr. Picqué is currently on long-term leave at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics and the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich ...
The initial results puzzled the world three years ago: the size of the proton (to be precise, its charge radius), measured in exotic hydrogen, in which the electron orbiting the nucleus is replaced by a negatively charged muon, yielded a value significantly smaller than the one from previous investigations of regular hydrogen or electron-proton-scattering. ...
Most molecules, including those of importance in medical diagnostics or pollution monitoring, have characteristic “fingerprints” in the mid-infrared spectral region. However, state-of-the-art mid-infrared frequency comb techniques require systems that are often costly and limited in their applications.
from the American Physical Society
Dr. Randolf Pohl, a scientist in the Laser Spectroscopy Division of Prof. Theodor W. Hänsch at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, is the recipient of the 2013 Francis M. Pipkin Award of the American Physical Society (APS).
Professor Theodor W. Hänsch, Director at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching near Munich, has received the Wilhelm Exner Medal of the Austrian “Gewerbeverein” in Vienna on November 19, 2012.
LMU/MPQ-Wissenschaftler entwickeln ein System, das die Verschränkung von stationären Quantensystemen anzeigt, ohne diesen Zustand zu zerstören. Das Experiment ist ein wichtiger Schritt auf dem Weg, Quanteninformation über große Entfernungen zu übertragen.
Laser frequency combs can be used for the calibration of astronomical spectrographs. This will help to find extra-solar planets. Stars outside our solar-system. By refining this technology it might become possible to directly measure even very small changes in the expansion velocity of the universe.
In future, optical fibers could connect all optical atomic clocks within Europe – a milestone for various users of optical frequencies in research and industry.
