Markus Greiner

Markus Greiner (born August 20, 1973 in Hanover ) is a German physicist and university professor who works in the field of quantum optics .

Greiner began studying physics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich in 1993 . He wrote his diploma thesis under the German Nobel Prize laureate Theodor Hänsch on the subject of "Transporting Magnetically Trapped Atoms: A Simple Approach to Bose-Einstein Condensates" . His doctoral thesis, which also dealt with Bose-Einstein condensates , was also written under Professor Hänsch in 2003.

From 2003 to 2005 he was a researcher (postdoc) at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) at the University of Colorado in Boulder in Deborah Jin 's group. Together with Cindy A. Regal , they succeeded in producing one of the first fermion condensates .

He became Assistant Professor in August 2005, Associate Professor in 2010 and Professor of Physics at Harvard University in 2012 .
