Research
Quantum Information Theory: criteria, classes, and measures of entanglement; quantum channels and capacities; quantum information with indistinguishable particles
Implemention of Quantum Information Processing: we investigate solid-state- and quantum optical systems (quantum dots, NV centers, atomic ensembles) for their potential to realize basic quantum information processing tasks (quantum memories, quantum gates, quantum interfaces, quantum repeaters)
Open Quantum Systems: dissipative state-preparation, phase transitions in dissipative quantum systems
Quantum Simulation and Artificial Matter: quantum simulation using nanostructures to trap and manipulate electrons, cold atoms, or molecules
