Fedor Jeletsko

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fedor Jelezko (born May 12, 1971 in Minsk ) is a German physicist . He is a professor at Ulm University .

Life

Jeletsko studied physics in Minsk and received his doctorate in Bordeaux , where he worked with Michel Orrit . From 1998 to 2000 he worked in Jörg Wrachtrup's group in Chemnitz and then went to the University of Stuttgart with him . He worked here until January 2011, and from 2007 to 2010 he was also visiting professor at ENS Cachan . Jelezko has been a professor at Ulm University since February 2011, where he is director of the Institute for Quantum Optics .

In 2008 Jelezko was awarded the Walter Schottky Prize of the German Physical Society . In 2016 Jelezko received the Baden-Württemberg State Research Prize . In 2012 and 2019 he was able to apply for an ERC Synergy Grant from the European Research Council .

research

Jelezko is known for quantum optics experiments on solids . In particular, in cooperation with Jörg Wrachtrup, he succeeded in pioneering experiments on individual nitrogen vacancy centers in the diamond lattice , so-called “NV centers” ( n itrogen- v acancy centers). This demonstrated NV centers as promising elements for quantum information technology . Jelezko researches properties of NV centers and other defects in diamond as well as possible applications in the context of quantum information and for the life sciences .
