Research projects in our group
We cover a broad range of topics, spanning from very fundamental questions ("Why is there only so little anti-matter in the Universe?") to the develpment of devices very close to applications (such as photonic modules for future quantum communication). And as we all know, optical clocks are by far the most precise measurement instruments we can think of, so we put in some effort to improve them further.
Our research is structured into six different projects.
The quMercury project
Quantum gases for a measurement of the atomic EDM of mercury
The ZincClock project
Exploring zinc as a new candidate for optical clocks
The CalciumClock project
The CalciumClock project
The OT4Q project
Optical technologies for quantum computation
The Pulsars&Clocks project
Linking pulsars and optical clocks
The Gyroscope project
A passive ring laser for geodesy
Startup funding for these research projects is provided by the University of Bonn, the European Union (ERC Starting Grant 2017), the SFB/TR 185 “OSCAR”, and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) though various programs, among them the Cluster of Excellence ML4Q.
