Frieder Lindel

As a Quantum Center postdoctoral fellow, Frieder Lindel will explore the possibility of controlling emerging phenomena in quantum many-body systems by strongly coupling them to tailored vacuum fluctuations in a cavity. Frieder will develop a theoretical framework for this emerging field of cavity quantum materials that goes beyond the commonly applied single-mode approximation of the cavity field, thereby providing a platform for considerably more nuanced explanation and prediction of effects than is currently possible.

Frieder Lindel completed his PhD at the University of Freiburg in Germany in June 2024, working on the detection of quantum states of light in space and time and their use for optimal control. In March 2024, he started a postdoctoral position at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. From February 2025, Frieder will conduct research at ETH Zurich in the group of Eugene Demler at the Institute for Theoretical Physics and in the Quantum Optoelectronics Group of Jérôme Faist.
