Welcome to the X-Ray Quantum Optics Lab

We explore the fascinating world of nonlinear and quantum optical effects in the x-ray regime, pushing the boundaries of fundamental physics and pioneering new imaging and spectroscopy techniques.

Our Research Areas

🔬 Generation & manipulation of non-classical x-ray radiation – Unlocking new quantum properties in the x-ray domain.

🔬 Innovative spectroscopy & microscopy techniques – Harnessing quantum effects to revolutionize imaging and analysis.

🔬 Nonlinear x-ray effects – Exploring novel interactions between high-energy photons using extreme light sources.



Join Our Team

We are actively recruiting graduate students and postdocs to be part of our cutting-edge research.

Our projects involve both theoretical and experimental studies, with the goal of discovering fundamental quantum effects and developing next-generation x-ray technologies. We conduct experiments using our in-house x-ray imaging system, as well as at leading synchrotron and x-ray free-electron laser facilities worldwide.

If you’re passionate about pushing the frontiers of physics and developing cutting-edge instruments that leverage quantum mechanics with x-rays, we’d love to hear from you!
