My research interests are
- Low-temperature optical and spin spectroscopy of rare-earth-ion-doped materials
- Coherent light-atom interactions in gaseous and solid state materials
- Quantum optics
- Quantum storage devices for single photons
- Quantum communication/Quantum repeaters
For more information on my research have a look at the Quantum Memory/Repeater section.
