Welcome at the research group “Quantumdynamics” at the Institute for theoretical physics, Universität Regensburg, Germany.
The group develops and employs new approaches to predict and describe transport properties of quantum particles. Areas under current investigation are described under “Research”.
The impressive progress of scanning probe microscopy and in attosecond laser physics has opened a new window into microscopic devices and requires a new approach from the theoretical side: Ensemble averages are no longer the objects of central importance, instead the description and interpretation in a single typical realization of a device matters.
We employ analytical solvable models in order to probe and test new numerical methods, which sometimes are implemented on large computer clusters or graphic cards. The combination of analytical models and numerical evaluations for realistic device models allows us to interpret the results consistently and to obtain an upper bound on the numerical errors. The collaboration with experimental groups forces and enables us to make realistic predictions and to compare theory and experiment.
| The group is established within the Emmy-Noether program of the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft at the Department of Physics of the University Regensburg, Germany. |  |
| We are also supported by the Acciones Integradas Hispano-Alemanas of the DAAD , for the project Coherent control of molecular states with ultrafast laser pulses in collaboration with the Instituto Estructura De La Materia, Madrid. |  |
Diploma and doctoral thesis.
A variety of research topics is available for interested students. Some knowledge in mathematical physics would be an adventage. Please contact Tobias Kramer for further information and possible research topics.
