Welcome to my website!


My name is Martijn Wubs and I am a Dutch physicist working as an associate professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in the Structured Electromagnetic Materials Theory group.


With my wife and two children I live in Charlottenlund, in between DTU and downtown Copenhagen.                              


My research:

Nanophotonics, quantum optics, and solid-state quantum information


  • Quantum optics and electrodynamics in photonic media, in particular quantum plasmonics

  • Solid state quantum information

  • Continuous-variable quantum communication

  • Driven quantum systems: coherent destruction of tunneling, dissipative Landau-Zener transitions

  • Decoherence: decoherence-free subspaces, pure dephasing, non-Markovian effects

  • Exciton dynamics in molecular aggregates
Last change: May 2013.
