Tobias Vogl

Prof. Dr. Tobias Vogl is a Professor of Quantum Communication Systems Engineering at the TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology, Technical University of Munich (TUM). His research focuses on advancing quantum communication technologies, particularly leveraging two-dimensional materials like hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) for quantum emitters, photonic integrated circuits, and satellite-based quantum systems.

Key research directions include quantum optics applications, defect engineering in 2D materials for quantum memories, and space-qualified photonic devices. Recent work emphasizes testing foundational quantum mechanics postulates, developing robust quantum light sources for space communication, and creating efficient algorithms for quantum computing. His contributions span theoretical modeling (e.g., defect databases), experimental fabrication (e.g., dry transfer methods), and applied systems (e.g., handheld QKD devices).

Prof. Vogl’s interdisciplinary approach bridges materials science, photonics, and quantum information science, with a strong emphasis on practical applications such as secure quantum communication networks and space-based quantum experiments.
