Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in physics at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, USA. Before, I worked at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization and the University of Göttingen in Germany where I also got my PhD. Currently, I'm a Visiting Scholar at the University of Bremen, Germany.

Dynamics of ultracold atoms in optical lattices

Entangled or not entangled: that is the question. Whether or not a Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in two optical wells remains coherent (or entangled) can be seen through a “Quantum Eye”.
