Your theory work will cover the broad theme of cavity quantum electrodynamics to be performed in collaboration with the experimental group of Prof. Rempe at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany.

Keywords of our research include: quantum optics, photonics, quantized light fields, optical resonators, laser cooling and trapping of atoms, optimal control, decoherence, cavity optomechanics, out of equilibrium quantum dynamics. We have positions either in computing or purely theoretical or both. You are welcomed to propose any idea you would like to pursue. propose any idea you would like to pursue.
