Our group explores optical quantum systems to study emergent many-body phenomena.
Quantum fluids of light can be experimentally realized within nanostructured material-filled optical resonators. Utilizing the light-matter interactions in this platform, we conduct fundamental studies on thermodynamics and quantum-statistical effects. We are interested to explore how topological properties can arise in photonic structures under finite-temperature conditions, how complex networks of optical condensates can be employed as physical computers for optimization problems, or how quantum many-body states of light, e.g. photon superfluids, can be synthesised at room temperature. Unravelling such open questions is at the forefront of today’s research in quantum physics and may lead to new applications for future quantum technologies.
