At EP1, we explore light–matter interactions, focusing on topological photonics, quantum light, correlated many-body physics, and hybrid quantum systems.

Our goal is to discover new phenomena and turn them into impactful photonic and quantum technologies through responsible, forward-looking research.

We are an active member of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat. Our members participate in cluster events, and students join the Quantum Matter Academy for strong support and networking opportunities.

We are committed to teaching and science communication through lectures, seminars, lab courses, and outreach. We provide Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students with comprehensive education and research opportunities.
