Whitlock | Exotic Quantum Matter

Professor in experimental quantum physics at the CESQ and the University of Strasbourg. His group explores the physics of complex quantum systems and applications for quantum simulation, quantum sensing and quantum computing. Shannon studied physics and completed his PhD at  Swinburne University of Technologyin Melbourne in 2007, followed by a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Amsterdam. In 2010, he moved to the University of Heidelberg, in Germany where he started his own research group and advanced quantum physics laboratory thanks to a prestigious Emmy Noether Grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG). He is strongly involved in several major research and training programmes, including QMat, EU doctoral programmes MOQS andQUSTEC, and the new public infrastructure for quantum computing aQCess.
