Daqing Wang awarded DPG dissertation prize

Daqing Wang, a junior researcher in the Experimental Physics 1 / Light-Matter Interaction group was awarded the SAMOP Dissertation Prize by the German Physical Society for his dissertation and talk titled "Coherent Coupling of a Single Molecule to a Fabry-Perot Microcavity".

Dr. Wang conducted his dissertation work at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Light under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Vahid Sandoghdar. In his dissertation work, he developed a miniaturized optical resonator. Using this resonator, he was able to control the interaction of single photons and single molecules, transforming a complex molecule into a near-ideal quantum two-level system. This work lays experimental foundations for future quantum photonic networks.

Wang joined Prof. Kilian Singer's research group in October 2018. Since then, he has been leading an experiment to explore thermodynamics with single trapped and laser-cooled ions. Since August 2019, he leads the junior research project Enantiomer Separation using Optical Forces within the SFB 1319 ELCH.
