from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Markus Aspelmeyer (born June 14, 1974 in Schongau ) is a Bavarian physicist who works in Austria, is a Lieben and ERC Prize winner and a university professor at the University of Vienna .

Markus Aspelmeyer attended grammar school in Schongau until he graduated from high school in 1993. He then studied philosophy up to a master’s degree and physics at the University of Munich , where he obtained his doctorate in 2002 under Johann Peisl , with his research on the influence of external fields on structure and interface morphology thin ferroelectric films . He then worked as a post-doc with Anton Zeilinger at the University of Vienna . He followed Zeilinger when he moved to the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences , where he first became a junior and later a senior scientist. There he dealt with problems of quantum entanglement and quantum optics .

Aspelmeyer received the Lieben Prize in 2007 . After a START Prize in 2008, he received the prestigious 2009 ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grants of the European Research Council (European Research Council, ERC) and 2010 the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award . In 2009, he selected from three professorship positions ( University of Oxford , University of Calgary ) the call to the University of Vienna , where he has since been professor for Quantum Information on the Nanoscale at the Faculty of Physics. Markus Aspelmeyer is head of a research group that researches quantum effects in nano and micro systems. In 2012 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 2017 he was awarded the City of Vienna Prize for Natural Sciences , and in 2018 he was elected to the Austrian Academy of Sciences .
