Associate Professor of Photonics and Quantum Sciences, Heriot-Watt University
Dr. Hartmann’s research explores the theory of quantum optical, quantum electronic and nanomechanical systems. He develops strategies for controlling and engineering the dynamics of these quantum systems which are very well amenable to experimental implementations. His work aims at laying the foundations for applications of these quantum devices in future technology.
