Quantum molecular dynamics constitutes the thrust of my research. The goal is to gain insight into realistic elementary chemical encounters. This requires the development and application of a quantum description to molecular processes. In particular the emphasis is on time-dependent approaches which can follow naturally the stream of events.
  • Coherent chemistry: light induced processes
  • Coherent control and laser cooling
  • Dynamical processes on surfaces
  • Quantum thermodynamics
  • Computational and teaching methods

With the rise of quantum technologies and the ability to control single atoms, ions and molecules, thermodynamics faces new challenges:

  • What new thermodynamic effects can be observed in the quantum microscopic realm?
  • Can quantum heat machines drastically outperform classical heat machines?
  • Are there additional scale-dependent thermodynamic laws that become important only in small coherent systems?
  • What are the possibilities entailed in microscopic thermal control protocols?
  • How will the next generation of microscopic heat machines look like?
