Life

Markus Arndt studied physics from 1985 to 1991 at the University of Bonn and at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . As part of his doctorate from 1991 to November 1994 at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, he worked with Antoine Weis in Theodor Hänsch's group on optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy of metal atoms in liquid and solid helium. From 1994 to February 1995 he continued to work there until he moved to Paris. From 1995 to 1997 he worked as a Feodor Lynen and DFG scholarship holder with Jean Dalibard at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris on atomic optics, atomic interferometry and cold atomic collisions. Between 1997 and 1999 he was a postdoc with Anton Zeilinger at the University of Innsbruck and from 1999 to 2002 he was Anton Zeilinger's university assistant at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Vienna , where the first experiments on diffraction and interferometry of the fullerene C60 were carried out. Arndt completed his habilitation in 2002 on atomic and molecular interferometry and was associate professor at the University of Vienna from 2002 to 2004. From September 2004 he was a contract professor for quantum nanophysics at the University of Vienna. In 2008 he became professor for quantum nanophysics at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna. His research group deals with the investigation of the matter wave interference of complex molecules and nanoparticles as well as new methods for the preparation and detection of these objects.

Markus Arndt is married and has two sons.

Awards

In 2000 he received the Erich Schmid Prize of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) , together with G. Springholz, and the Fritz Kohlrausch Prize of the Austrian Physical Society (ÖPG). In 2001 he was awarded the START Prize of the Fund for the Promotion of Scientific Research (FWF) and in 2008 the FWF Wittgenstein Prize . In 2012 he received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) . In 2013 he was awarded the City of Vienna Prize for Natural Sciences . In 2014 he was elected a corresponding member in Germany of the mathematical and natural science class of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . For 2019 he was awarded the Robert Wichard Pohl Prize of the German Physical Society .
