Welcome to the Institute for Experimental Physics

at the Faculty for Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics at the University of Innsbruck. We conduct experimental research in many areas of physics, in particular quantum information, spectrocsopy, quantum optics, cold atoms, quantum gases, solid state physics, and photonics.
