Our group is concerned with research in quantum
information theory, quantum optical implementations of quantum
information ideas, and quantum many-body theory.
We ask what information processing tasks are
possible using single quantum systems as carriers of information. On
the one hand, we
think about the mathematical-theoretical foundations of quantum
information, specifically about the theory of entanglement. On the
other hand, we are involved in identifying quantum optical realizations
of such ideas, specifically using light modes or cold atoms in optical
lattices.
We also do theoretical research on the theory of quantum systems
with many degrees of freedom, concerning their static properties, their
efficient numerical simulation, as well as their quantum dynamics.
