Christof Weitenberg

Christof Weitenberg is a Professor at the Department of Physics at TU Dortmund University, specializing in ultracold quantum gases. He completed his doctorate in Physics at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and Ludwig Maximilians University Munich (2011), following a Diploma in Physics from Saarland University (2007) and a Diploma in Musical Composition from the University of Music Saar (2005). His professional journey includes positions as Senior Scientist at the University of Hamburg (2013-2024) and Postdoc at École Normale Supérieure in Paris (2011-2013).

Weitenberg's research focuses on quantum simulation with ultracold atoms, quantum gas microscopy, ultracold topological matter, and machine learning in quantum physics. His work explores fundamental quantum phenomena using advanced experimental techniques to manipulate and measure atomic systems at ultracold temperatures.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on quantum simulation techniques, topological phases, quantum measurement, and machine learning applications in quantum physics. Research trends include the development of quantum microscopes, Floquet engineering of quantum systems, and investigations of topological matter using ultracold atoms.
