Atoms–Photons–Quanta

Welcome to the webpage of Prof. Dr. Gerhard Birkl's Research Group 'Atoms–Photons–Quanta' at the Institute for Applied Physics at TU Darmstadt.

Research Topics

We conduct experimental and theoretical research in the fields of Quantum Optics, Quantum Information, Quantum Technology and Atomic Physics.

This includes:

  • Ultracold Quantum Gases
  • Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC)
  • Quantum Information Science
  • Quantum Simulation, Computation, and Sensing
  • ATOMTRONICS = Integrated Atom Optics
  • Manipulation of Individual Atomic Quantum Systems
  • Coherent Quantum Dynamics
  • Precision Measurements on Highly Charged Stored Ions
  • Novel Developments in Laser Technology and Control Electronics

We have open positions for Bachelor, Master and PhD students, Postdocs and Research Students (Miniforscher). If you are interested to join the group, please contact .
