QUANTOP – Center for Macroscopic Quantum Systems
At the Quantum Optics Center (QUANTOP ) we study quantum effects at light-matter interface. Particles of light, photons, are great for creating, reading out and transmitting quantum information between material objects.
The Danish Center for Quantum Optics (QUANTOP) was established in 2001 at the Niels Bohr Institute.
- Started as a DNRF "Center of Excellence" QUANTOP’s research is focused on exploring quantum effects at the interface between light and matter.
- Our goal is to develop future quantum technologies based on superposition and entangled states of light and matter.
QUANTOP offers both specialized courses on the bachelor and master level as well as contributing to the overall teaching and research aims of the NBI.
Research at Quantop
At QUANTOP - the Quantum Optics Center – we study quantum effects at light-matter interface. Particles of light, photons, are great for creating, reading out and transmitting quantum information between material objects.
Quantum mechanics tells us that when light interacts with atoms they can become entangled, that is they exist in quantum superpositions.
Such entanglement, which the founding fathers of quantum mechanics considered its most fundamental and most controversial feature, is used at QUANTOP for breaking established limits in communication and sensing of fields and forces.
Teleportation of quantum states of objects, generation of single photons on demand, quantum memory for light, and measurements of fields and forces beyond the limit set by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle are among the experiments we perform.
Generation of quantum superposition states and entanglement requires extreme control of photons and material objects and careful protection from decoherence caused by the environment.
Various experimental techniques, including lasers, structured fibers, vacuum- and cryogenic setups and sensitive electronics have been developed to achieve such control.
Experiments with as diverse objects as room temperature atoms, cold atoms trapped around a nanofiber and high-Q mechanical membranes are carried out.
Our goal is to develop future quantum technologies based on superposition and entangled states of light and matter.
The center is funded by an ERC starting grant and DARPA, and the group is world leading in its research fields of quantum optics, atomic physics and optomechanics.

We have also had good experiences with AirBnB for rooms or full apartments - if you go that route, note that Nørrebro (Copehnagen N), Østerbro (Copenhagen Ø) and Copenhagen City/downtown are the neighborhoods closest to the NBI, though any Copenhagen or Frederiksberg address will be close on bike or public transport.
Apartments and other longer-term accomodation
If you are coming with family or staying more than a few days and are interested in renting an apartment or would like to stay in a university student Kollegium (studio apartment), let us know, and we will advise on the possibilities. If you are a new staff member moving to Copenhagen, consult the University Housing Foundation for help, and feel free to let us know if you need further assistance.
The Niels Bohr institute has many M.Sc. and PhD students. The students are closely attached to the research groups and supervisor, and have many social activities for International and Danish students.
