Benedikt Tissot
Academic Curriculum Vitae

I am a theoretical physicist with a focus on quantum information, solid state physics, and non-equilibrium dynamics. Particularly, the engineered and controlled interaction between light and matter and it’s application to advance quantum technology fascinate me.
