Michael Zopf

Jun.-Prof. Dr. Michael Zopf, a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at the Institute of Solid State Physics (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Leibniz University Hannover), specializes in Quantum Optics and Semiconductor Physics. His research focuses on quantum networks, entangled photon sources, and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) for dynamic optical tuning.

• Key Projects: SemIQON (Semiconductor Integrated Quantum Optical Network, 2022), QVLS-iLabs (integrated photonic platforms, 2023), and CLICS (colloidal quantum dots in photonic chips, 2025).
• Research Themes: Semiconductor quantum dots as flying qubits, telecom wavelength emission, and topological photonics for neuromorphic quantum computing.
• Collaborations: Coordinated with Prof. Fei Ding in the Semiconductor Quantum Optics working group (2025) and contributing to ERC-funded quantum communication initiatives.
