The Quantum Design group
Welcome to the website of the Quantum Design group. In our research, we are interested in the constructive creation and control of special quantum states. Since 2017 we have been funded by the Emmy Noether programme of the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft.
The group is headed by Dr. Tobias Meng, who was awarded the Heinz-Maier Leibnitz Prize 2022 in recognition of his scientific achievements (Germany's most important award for early career scientists). The group is part of the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1143 and of the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat.
You want to get an impression of what our workdays are like, and meet the people behind the science? Then watch our video -> here <-!
