Leads the Theory of Solid-State Nanostructures for Quantum Technologies group at TU Dortmund University. Her research lies at the intersection of solid-state theory and quantum information science, focusing on the theoretical description of semiconductor nanostructures for quantum technology applications. Her group develops analytical and numerical methods—from rate equations and density-matrix approaches to machine learning—to model the quantum dynamics of nanostructures. Prof. Reiter maintains close collaborations with both theoretical and experimental teams across Europe, aim-ing to bridge theory and experiment in the development of scalable quantum devices.

Is a theoretical physicist at the Instituto de Física Fundamental (IFF-CSIC) in Madrid. His research explores open quantum systems and their applications to quantum optics and quantum metrology, with emphasis on the dissipative generation of non-classical states of light and matter. He obtained his PhD at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, followed by postdoctoral fellowships at RIKEN (Japan) with Prof. Franco Nori and at the University of Oxford with Prof. Dieter Jaksch. His recent works span topics such as quantum-jump metrology, steady-state entanglement, and nonlinear quantum light gen-eration for emerging quantum technologies.

Leads the Quantum Nanophotonics Group at the University of Münster, where she in-vestigates the optical properties of two-dimensional materials and single-photon emitters at the nanoscale. Her research combines advanced near-field spectroscopy and tip-enhanced photoluminescence to explore light–matter interactions beyond the diffraction limit, with applications in quantum technologies. She obtained her PhD at the University of Münster and subsequently conducted postdoctoral research at CIC nanoGUNE in San Sebastián (Spain). In 2024, she returned to Münster through the prestigious NRW Return Program for Quantum Technologies, establishing her independent research group. Her current work focuses on color centers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), Moiré excitons, and strain-engineered quantum emitters for next-generation photonic devices.

He received his Ph.D. from the Technical University of Munich in the Quantum Com-munication Systems Engineering group, where he investigated the photophysical and spin properties of defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) for quantum technology ap-plications and developed an online database (h-bn.info) for benchmarking the properties of hBN defects. He is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the same group, focusing on first-principles calculations and open quantum system modeling to elucidate the co-herence properties of hBN defects relevant to quantum photonics, including applications in quantum emitters, quantum memories, and quantum sensing. His research also in-cludes the development of novel protocols for quantum key distribution.

Is a Research Fellow at the Chair of Hybrid Nanophotonics in the Faculty of Physics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). His research explores light–matter interaction in low-dimensional nanomaterials, focusing on two-dimensional semiconduc-tors, metasurfaces, and van der Waals heterostructures for quantum photonics. He earned his PhD in Physics at the University of Sheffield, investigating excitonic physics and single-photon emission in 2D materials. After postdoctoral work with Prof. Stefan A. Maier, he joined Prof. Andreas Tittl’s group at LMU, where he holds an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship. Dr. Sortino’s contributions span ultrafast spectroscopy, strong light–matter coupling, and hybrid metasurfaces.

Is a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at the Walter Schottky Institute, Technical Uni-versity of Munich. Her research focuses on two-dimensional materials, van der Waals heterostructures, and quantum emitters engineered for telecommunication-compatible quantum technologies. She investigates the strain-dependent optoelectronic properties of atomically thin semiconductors, developing methods to create deterministic quantum light sources through local defect engineering. Dr. Blundo is the recipient of numerous international awards, including the Applied Sciences 2023 Best PhD Thesis Award, the Con.Scienze National Prize for Best PhD Thesis in Physics (2023), and the European Magnetic Field Laboratory Prize (2024).
