The Photonics group is led by Prof. Gregor Weihs at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck. It is part of the FWF Cluster of Excellence "quantA - Quantum Science Austria" and of the FWF SFB BeyondC. Our research in quantum optics and quantum information focuses on semiconductor nanostructures and on the foundations of (quantum) physics.
