معرفی
Dr. Thomas Karg is a PostDoc researcher in the Quantum Optics Lab led by Prof. Philipp Treutlein at the University of Basel since 2021. He completed his PhD in the same group (2015-2020) and holds degrees from ETH Zurich: B.Sc. (2013) and M.Sc. (2014) in Interdisciplinary Sciences. His work focuses on quantum optomechanics, hybrid systems, and quantum metrology, leveraging ultracold atoms and nanomechanical devices. Key achievements include demonstrating light-mediated strong coupling over meter-scale distances (Science 2020) and pioneering remote quantum control techniques.
Research Interests: Karg’s research bridges quantum optics and optomechanics, exploring long-range quantum interactions, quantum memory development, and applications in precision sensing. He investigates atomic spin-oscillator interfaces and demonstrates scalable quantum technologies. His experimental tools include Bose-Einstein condensates, microfabricated vapor cells, and optomechanical cavities.
Awards:
- SPS Metrology Award (2022) for nanomechanical-atomic spin coupling work
- Swiss Nanotechnology PhD Award (2021) for first-author publications on optomechanical coupling
- Willi Studer Prize (2014) during master’s studies at ETH Zurich
Teaching: Taught courses including Physik IV, Quantum Optics I, and introductory computational quantum mechanics at the University of Basel.
Labs/Teams: Core member of Treutlein’s group, collaborating with institutions like ETH Zurich and the Warburton group on semiconductor-atomic interfaces. Engaged in ERC-funded projects and Swiss quantum technology initiatives.
