Introduction video Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute
Quantum Gases & Quantum Information
Ultracold atoms and trapped ions enable investigating and utilizing fascinating phenomena in quantum physics.
At the Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute (WZI) for experimental physics, scientists perform research in the areas of quantum gases & quantum information, quantum materials, and soft matter. The WZI is a division of the Institute of Physics. IoP's contributions to the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL) are coordinated through WZI.

Education: Advanced Matter & Energy Physics track
The WZI is one of the core institutes contributing to the Advanced Matter & Energy Physics (AMEP) track in the Master of Physics and Astronomy program. We contribute a wide range of courses in soft condensed matter, materials science and quantum technologies. Students from the track often carry out their final projects in our groups. For further information, please contact the track coordinator.
