Chair-Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Ulm

Wolfgang P. Schleich is engaged in research on quantum optics ranging from the foundations of quantum physics via tests of general relativity with light and cold atoms to number theory. He was educated at the Ludwig Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich and studied with Marlan O. Scully at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, and the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, Garching. Moreover, he was also a post doctoral fellow with John Archibald Wheeler at the University of Texas at Austin.


Professor Schleich is a member of several national and international academies and has received numerous prizes and honors for his scientific work such as the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, the Max Planck Research Award, and the Willis E. Lamb Award for Laser Science and Quantum Optics, and the Herbert-Walther Prize. He is also a Faculty Fellow at the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study at Texas A&M University.
