معرفی
Konrad Viebahn is a Researcher at ETH Zurich's Department of Physics, working within the Professorship for Quantum Optics. Based at HPF D 23, Otto-Stern-Weg 1, Zurich, he contributes to experimental quantum simulation research with contact via viebahnk@ethz.ch and +41 44 633 23 45.
His research centers on quantum many-body systems in optical lattices, specializing in topological phenomena and Floquet engineering. Key interests include Thouless pumping in driven systems, quantum control of ultracold atoms, and mitigating heating in Floquet-Hubbard lattices. His work bridges theoretical concepts like topological phase transitions with experimental implementations using laser-cooled atomic gases.
Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals a consistent focus on engineering topological quantum behavior through periodic driving techniques. His group pioneers two-tone driving methods to manipulate band structures, enabling protected quantum gates and precise charge pumping. This research directly addresses challenges in quantum simulation scalability and error mitigation for future quantum technologies.
As part of ETH Zurich's Quantum Optics group, Dr. Viebahn utilizes advanced optical lattice platforms to study strongly correlated quantum matter. The team's experimental setup involves precision laser systems for creating dynamical potentials, with recent work emphasizing the interplay between interactions and topology in non-equilibrium systems.
