Prof. Kai Müller's research focuses on quantum engineering, specifically on building blocks essential for photonic quantum technologies and the integration of quantum photonic integrated circuits. His work deals with sources of non-classical light, including single-photons and entangled photons, as well as spin-photon interfaces and quantum memories. Prof. Müller has expansive experience in engineering light-matter interactions, conducting demonstrator experiments to enable systems engineering. He studied Physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and obtained his PhD in Physics from TUM in 2013. Afterward, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, funded by the Feodor-Lynen fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2013-2015). He subsequently established a junior research group at the Walter Schottky Institute at TUM from 2016 to 2018. In 2019, he was appointed as the Rudolf Mößbauer Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at TUM and achieved early tenure as an Associate Professor in 2022.
