Sebastian Wüster

Sebastian Wüster is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal, leading the Quantum Dynamics of Complex Systems Group. His research focuses on cold atomic physics, quantum simulations, and Rydberg systems. He collaborates with institutions like the Max-Planck Society, NTU Singapore, and ANU Australia. His group explores phenomena such as Rydberg aggregates, Bose-Einstein condensates, and quantum optomechanics. Wüster teaches advanced quantum mechanics and has advised numerous PhD/iPhD students and BSMS scholars. His work bridges fundamental quantum dynamics with experimental implementations in ultracold atomic systems.

Research interests include Rydberg physics, quantum transport, and analogue gravity, with a focus on energy transport in quantum systems and conical intersections in cold gases. His group uses advanced computational tools like XMDS2 for simulating many-body quantum problems. Collaborative efforts span international partnerships, including the Max-Planck-IISER Partner group.

Advising includes students working on topics like quantum network tomography, exciton switching, and mesoscopic entanglement. The lab leverages high-performance computing resources at IISER Bhopal. Wüster’s research has led to publications in top journals like Phys. Rev. Lett. and New J. Phys., with contributions to quantum simulation and optomechanical systems.
