Research Statement
Artur Widera holds a master�s degree in physics from UT Austin and a Diploma in physics from Julius-Maximilian University in Wuerzburg. He completed his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Immanuel Bloch at the Johannes-Gutenberg-University, Mainz in 2007. Subsequently he worked as assistant to Prof. Dr. Dieter Meschede at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University, Bonn. Since 2010 he is professor for experimental physics at Technical University Kaiserslautern.
His research is focused on quantum phenomena in many-body systems as well as single quantum particles. The research topics pursued include solid state related quasi particle phenomena, quantum information science, non-equilibrium quantum systems and micro-scopic thermalization processes. The experiments use various implementations of light-matter interaction to tightly control the experimental platforms employed. These comprise ultracold bosonic and fermionic quantum gases, lasercooled single neutral atoms, and indi-vidual solid state quantum emitters on micro-structured waveguides.
