Research in the field of quantum physics and quantum information at JGU Mainz deals with controlled quantum systems, such as trapped ions, ultracold atoms, and tailor-made quantum optics systems. The aim is to precisely manipulate and investigate quantum states in order to develop novel approaches for quantum computers, quantum communication, and quantum simulation, as well as to better understand fundamental phenomena of quantum mechanics.

In the field of quantum sensing at JGU Mainz, we develop and utilize highly sensitive measurement methods based on quantum mechanical effects. Techniques such as optically pumped magnetometers, spin spectroscopy, and precise measurements on atoms, molecules, and solids are used to detect minute magnetic fields, rotations, and other physical quantities. These sensors not only enable applications in navigation, materials science, and medicine, but also serve as precision tools for investigating fundamental natural constants, symmetries, and possible new physics.
