ERC Starting Grant to Florian Mintert
Florian Mintert, preparing his Habilitation at the Institute of Physics, former member of the Buchleitner group, and since 1st October Junior Fellow at the Soft Matter School of FRIAS, received a Starting Grant of the European Research Council, for his research project on "Optimal dynamical control of quantum entanglement". The grant is endowed with funding for his own position as well as for additional post-docs and PhD students for five years.
Florian Mintert studied physics in Aachen and Hamburg, where he got his diploma in 2000 with a thesis on radio-frequency control of trapped ions. During his PhD project in Dresden he worked on entanglement dynamics in dissipative quantum systems. In his postdoctoral research in Rio de Janeiro and Cambridge (MA) he devised a new approach for the experimental quantification of entanglement and investigated decoherence effects in many-body quantum systems. During his PostDoc in Freiburg he began his work on the control of many-body entanglement.
