We are fascinated by ...

• Universal matter-wave interferometry:
  Scalable interferometer concepts and beam splitter techniques for atoms, large (bio)molecules and nanoparticles.
• Quantum physics at the interface to the classical world:
  Mass limits of matter-wave interference, decoherence, wave function collapse. 
• Quantum measurements for physical chemistry:
  Matter-wave fringes as quantum nanorulers to measure electro-magnetic, optical & dynamical molecule properties.
• Quantum tools for biomolecular physics:
  Matter-wave interferometry with vitamins, neurotransmitters, antibiotics and polypeptides.  
  
• Optomechanics for new quantum ideas:
  Optical cooling of trapped nanoparticles to enable quantum experiments in new regimes.
• Single-photon charge control of proteins
  Novel applications of biomolecular beams controlled by photo-cleavable tags.
• Quantum sensors for mass spectrometry:
  Superconducting nanowire detectors as detectors for biopolymers and molecular beams.
