Welcome to the Institute of Laserphysics

The Institute of Laser Physics (ILP) comprises five experimental and three theoretical groups. Their joint aim is to research quantum physics of light and matter and explore new technological applications. Main research interests are ultra-cold quantum gases, strongly correlated quantum matter, gravitational-wave detection, the development of lasers that produce squeezed and entangled light, and the fundamental questions of quantum physics in general. For all topics we provide lectures for physics students at the University of Hamburg.

The ILP is part of the physics department. It hosts the DFG-funded collaborative research centre SFB925 „Light induced dynamics and control of correlated quantum systems“, and is strongly involved in the Cluster of Excellence „Quantum Universe“ (QU), in „The Hamburg Centre for Ultrafast Imaging”, which includes the Cluster of Excellence „Advanced Imaging of Matter“ (AIM), and in “The Centre for Optical Quantum Technologies” (ZOQ).

We use ultracold atoms to study minimal laboratory models of quantum many-body physics. Our research covers ultracold atoms in optical cavities, topological optical lattices, and new concepts for quantum metrology.

We investigate ultracold atom and solid-state systems, with emphasis on many-body phenomena such as superfluidity and superconductivity. Our primary research interest is many-body dynamics using novel theoretical concepts for quantum dynamics.

We experimentally cool dilute gases to near absolute zero temperature. Here, quantum mechanical behaviour dominates, enabling us to study fundamental phenomena such as superfluidity, matter wave interference and correlated dynamics in highly tuneable model systems.

The theory group of 'Fundamental processes in quantum physics' focuses on the structure and dynamics in ultracold trapped systems but also on the development of novel fundamental concepts in quantum physics in general.
