Markus Arndt

Markus Arndt is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna. He received his doctoral degree from the LMU Munich in 1994 under supervision by T. W. Hänsch. During two postdoc years with Jean Dalibard at the ENS Paris he worked on the preparation of ultracold atoms, atom optics, and atom interferometry. In 1997 he joined Anton Zeilinger in Innsbruck as a postdoc to jointly start the field of macromolecule interferometry. He moved to Vienna in 1999, was appointed professor in 2004 and full professor of quantum nanophysics in 2008. His interests cover the foundations of physics, molecular and cluster quantum optics, quantum enhanced molecule metrology and lithography.
