Andreas Reiserer

Prof. Dr. Andreas Reiserer is a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in the Quantum Dynamics division. He leads the Otto Hahn Group on Quantum Networks, focusing on developing scalable quantum network technologies using solid-state platforms, particularly individual erbium dopants in optical resonators.

His research lies at the intersection of quantum optics, quantum information, and solid-state physics. He investigates novel quantum systems to overcome current limitations in quantum networking, aiming to enable long-distance entanglement distribution, secure quantum communication, and distributed quantum computing. His group's work builds on foundational experiments in cavity quantum electrodynamics and loophole-free Bell tests.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend toward solid-state quantum emitters with telecom compatibility, long coherence times, and integration with high-Q optical cavities. Key themes include quantum memory development, cavity-enhanced emission, and the engineering of quantum nodes for future quantum internet architectures.
