Professor of Quantum Physics
//
Prof. Dr. Artur Widera
"I am fascinated by understanding, controlling and even applying the fundamental laws of the quantum world."
Prof. Artur Widera is a physicist and professor at the RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau. His research focuses on the quantum physics of single atom systems, ultracold quantum gases and optically active defects in diamond. Novel mechanisms of quantum control are investigated and innovative sensors for applications in quantum technology are developed in his group. Academic teaching also plays a central role in his work, for which he has already received several awards.
Quantum mysteries, real-world technology
Will quantum effects soon make our lives faster and better – or are many of the promises still just science fiction?How can we even begin to imagine quantum phenomena, given that the behavior of the tiniest particles involved is so difficult to grasp? Physics professor Artur Widera explains the fundamental laws and significance of the quantum world.
