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!
