Welcome to the Nanooptik AG

1 / 3
The main topic of our experimental research is fundamental light-matter interaction on the nanoscale. We focus on the realization and investigation of controllable quantum optical model-systems. The understanding of these systems leads to application in quantum information processing and quantum sensing.

New Quantum Reapeater projekt (TD.QR)

We are excited to be part of the new BMFTR-funded project “Technologien und Demonstratoren für Quantenrepeater (TD.QR).” The project aims to advance key technologies and demonstrators for quantum repeaters, which are essential for building long-distance quantum communication networks. You can find more information in the official press release here.

Welcome Elias Rahner

It's great to have Elias Rahner join our research group as a bachelor student, and we're excited to work with them on their first steps in research.

New Paper Published

We’re pleased to share that our paper, “Light storage in light cages: a scalable platform for multiplexed quantum memories,” has been published. In this work, we investigate how quantum information can be stored and retrieved using a light cage as a scalable platform for multiplexed quantum memories. More details can be found in the paper here.

We welcome Annisha Pradhan

Welcome to our research group! We're glad to have you here and hope you'll get some good experience during your internship.

Nano Christmas Excursion to Wendelstein 7x in Greifswald

On December 11th, our Christmas event took us to the fusion reactor in Greifswald. After a very informative tour by Prof. Thomas Klinger, we enjoyed a walk through the beautiful city center and a visit to the Christmas market.
