We study quantum states in solid-state materials, with a special focus on magnets and superconductors. We seek to unravel the
microscopic origin of their quantum behavior. To this end, we use x-ray and neutron scattering techniques, low-temperature
thermodynamic and transport measurements, as well as ab initio calculations of the electronic structure.

Check out our
research topics and possible
student projects,
and of course
publications if you prefer the dry academic style.
Last but not least, there are a few general
educational lectures
related to our work and to some of the current topics in quantum physics.
