Short CV
Since October 2001: Full professor in the Department of Physics, ETH Zurich, Switzerland
Major scientific accomplishments: Since my appointment as full professor at ETH Zurich in October 2001 I built
up one of the internationally leading research labs in the field of quantum gases and quantum simulation. We
pioneered the research agenda of analog quantum simulation by synthetically creating and studying key models
in quantum many-body physics. We have initiated and established three main research directions:
• We carried out seminal experiments with quantum gases in optical lattices to explore Fermi–Hubbard
physics and beyond, among them the first realizations of a fermionic Mott insulator, a quantum-gas analogue
of graphene and the topological Haldane model, as well as the first observation of quantum magnetism in a
Fermi–Hubbard model. In most recent work we realized a driven Fermi–Hubbard model and observed enhancement
and sign reversal of magnetic correlations, and demonstrated a first step towards quantum simulation of
lattice gauge theories.
• We pioneered the study of Bose–Einstein condensates in cavity-QED settings, used it to provide a
link to the physics of cavity-optomechanics, and realized the Dicke quantum phase transition. The cavity
induces long-range interactions, which we very recently combined with a short-range interacting Bose–Hubbard
model, leading to the observation of a first-order phase transition. Recently we observed a supersolid phase
breaking a continuous symmetry, as well as the associated phase and amplitude modes.
• A very recent and new line of research is the measurement of conductances in quantum gases, where we
also demonstrated the equivalent of the thermoelectric effect and observed for the first time quantized
conductance in neutral matter.
