Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics



In the field of atomic and molecular physics, the institute’s research topics cover the range from mathematical physics to ion traps, Bose-Einstein condensation, and Rydberg physics, to femto- and attosecond physics and spectroscopy of atomic and macromolecular structures. In all these areas, the detailed investigation and description of the light-matter interaction of complex structures, as well as the fundamental transport processes at very different scales, is of central importance.
