Condensed Matter and Quantum Optics

The research of the division of Condensed Matter and Quantum Optics is both experimental and theoretical. The research focuses on the fundamental aspects of quantum phenomena in light and matter, and has several potential applications in quantum information technology, quantum electronics and nanotechnology. Theoretical work is going on also in other areas of physics.

  • Experimental Condensed Matter Physics

    The research areas span over superconductivity (with emphasis on high temperature superconductors), low temperature physics, quantum electronics and spintronics, and nanotechnology. Current research topics are: intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy of high temperature superconductors, THz applications of superconducting tunnel (Josephson) junctions, analysis of non-equilibrium effects in stacked Josephson junctions, study of hybrid superconductor/ferromagnet devices for spintronic applications and development of ultrasensitive nanocalorimetry methods.


    Quantum Information and Quantum Optics

    The research areas span over experimental and theoretical studies on foundations of quantum physics, quantum information, quantum optics, and quantum nanophotonics. The current research topics are: tests on the locality and contextuality, generation and characterization of multipartite entanglement, light-matter interface, quantum cryptography, quantum communication and quantum computation.

    Theory of Quantum Matter

    We study systems composed of many, usually strongly interacting, particles where subtle collective quantum mechanical effects are of crucial importance. Examples are electron liquids in strong magnetic fields and ultra-cold atomic gases that can form Bose-Einstein condensates.

    We are also active in some areas of theoretical physics not covered by the above, especially in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and in general relativity.
