We are fascinated by these research fields
- Universal matter-wave interferometry:
We are working on scalable concepts and universal beam splitters for quantum experiments with atoms, atomic and molecular clusters, tailored organic molecules, native biomolecules and nanoparticles. - Quantum physics at the interface to the classical world:
We explore the mass and complexity limits of matter-wave interference, experimental quantum decoherence and interferometric tests of wave function collapse. - Cluster physics for matter-wave interferometry:
We are exploring advanced cluster sources and DUV laser technologies for high-mass interferometry. - Quantum measurements for physical chemistry:
We use matter-wave interference fringes as quantum nanorulers to measure electric, magnetic, optical and structural and dynamic properties of delocalized molecules. - Quantum tools for biomolecular physics:
We have realized matter-wave experiments with vitamins, antibiotics and polypeptides. For that purpose, we have developped ultra-fast biomolecular launch techniques. - Optomechanics for high-mass matter-wave interferometry:
We exploit optical forces to achieve optical cooling of dielectric nanoparticles in high-finesse cavities to enable novel high-mass quantum experiments. - Quantum sensors for mass spectrometry:
We are exploring superconducting nanowire detectors as in advanced mass spectroscopy - Single-photon charge control:
We are exploring new avenues towards biomolecular beams with high control over their charge and motional state for new experiments in protein quantum optics.
