Nanophysics and Quantum Photonics

We are a newly established research group at the University of Bonn.

The research in our team is concerned with the interaction between light and matter at the nanoscopic and quantum level. In particular, we focus on understanding and controlling these interactions among single photons, atoms and molecules. We are interested in research questions such as how to control the quantum states of a molecule with photons, how to increase the efficiency of these interactions, and how the structural properties of molecules and light, such as their chirality (handedness), manifest themselves in these interactions. The knowledge gained through our research could enable the use of molecules for quantum technology and facilitate sensitive probes for molecular sensing in chemistry and biology.


News from our team
Small but large - Our perspective on single organic molecules for quantum science applications
Together with a colleague at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, we discussed the physics behind single-molecule host-guest systems and put forward strategies to use them for applications in different aspects of quantum science.
New preprint on enhanced chiral optical forces via electric-dipole interactions
Together with colleagues at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, we analyzed a scheme to detect chiral optical forces on molecules. The force, resulting from electric-dipole interactions of chiral molecules with a set of electromagnetic and static fields, is expected to be orders of magnitude stronger than chiral forces from "traditional" schemes based on higher-order (such as the cross terms of electric-dipole and magnetic-dipole) interactions.
