Laurin Ostermann

Dr. Laurin Ostermann is a Senior Scientist at the Institute of Theoretical Physics within the University of Innsbruck, specializing in quantum optics and atomic physics. He leads research in cavity quantum electrodynamics, focusing on collective radiation phenomena like subradiance and superradiance. His work integrates theoretical modeling with experimental applications in quantum metrology, optical lattice clocks, and nanophotonics. Active since at least 2012, he has contributed to breakthroughs in time-bin entanglement, quantum emitter arrays, and protected-state spectroscopy.

Research Interests:

• Quantum Optics: Exploring collective radiation effects in atomic ensembles and nanostructured systems.
• Atomic Physics: Developing precision measurement techniques using clock atoms and Ramsey interferometry.
• Nanophotonics: Designing coherent light sources and energy transfer mechanisms in quantum emitter arrays.

Key Contributions: His 2025 work on self-ordering clock atom ensembles demonstrated novel cooling and lasing mechanisms. Recent studies (2024) advanced temperature-enhanced quantum metrology and waveguide-based excitation transport. The 2018 QuantumOptics.jl framework has become a standard tool for simulating open quantum systems.

Labs & Teams: Leads the Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics group, collaborating on projects ranging from superradiant lasers to nanoscale coherent light sources. Maintains a personal research portal at ostermann.ws.
