Oliver Benson

Oliver Benson is Professor for Experimental Nano Optics at Humboldt-University Berlin. He received his PhD in 1995 at LMU München and MPI for Quantum Optics, Garching. He turned to solid-state quantum optics during his postdoctoral stay at Stanford University from 1997 to 1999. He led an Emmy-Noether Junior Group at Konstanz University, before he went to Berlin in 2001. His research interest are quantum optical model systems involving atoms and solid-state quantum emitters coupled via photonic nanostructures. His group demonstrates first steps towards photonic quantum technology.
