Prof. Werner Vogel is the head of the QCUMbER partner in Rostock. For more than fourty years he actively works in the field of theoretical quantum optics. He received his PhD and habilitation at the University of Jena, Germany, in 1980 and 1986, respectively. He is author of the book "Quantum Optics" together with D.-G. Welsch (University of Jena).
"In my research group, we study the effects of quantized radiation fields and their propagation in media and interaction with matter. We derive observable nonclassicality conditions to characterize multimode quantum-correlated systems. For the detection of quantum effects, measurement schemes are proposed and rigorously analyzed. Beyond the theoretical identification of quantum effects, we collaborate with experimental groups to implement our methods and we quantify the strength of the quantumness with novel techniques.
"The role in QCUMbER is to provide the underpinning theory. In particular, we aim at witnessing and quantification of multipartite quantum correlations as well as
developing novel measurement strategies and data analysis of complex quantum light."
