Nonlinear Quantum Optics Group
Our group explores how we can create strong optical nonlinearity in a medium at light levels of individual photons. Such a quantum nonlinear medium mediates an effective interaction between single photons and thus opens the possibility of manipulating light at its most fundamental level. Our goal is to realize a system that enables full control over the quantum state of few photon light pulses.
In this podcast, Sebastian talks about his journey through academia and about his research.
Sam will stay with us as a Master student
Johanna, Chris, Jeremy, Clara and Aylin will join our group as Bachelor students.
We acknowledge the Manifesto for Values presented by Women for Quantum and the manifold problems and shortcomings in our community.
