New postdoc: Itsik Cohen

Itsik Cohen joined the group of Klaus Mølmer as a postdoctoral researcher on 15 September 2017.

His research focuses on light-matter interfaces of Rydberg atoms in cavities, investigating protocols of quantum repeaters and gates. 

Graduating from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, under the supervision of Alex Retzker, Itsik's PhD research consisted of improving entangling gates and quantum simulations with trapped ions and NV centers. In a short-term post position at Ofer Firstenberg's group, the Weizmann Institute of Science, he started exploring the field of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) Rydberg polaritons.
