Johannes Schachenmayer (group leader):

Raphaël Menu (Post-doc): Raphaël Menu (Post-doc): Following his PhD in 2020 (at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon under the supervision of T. Roscilde), Raphaël joined the team of G. Morigi at Saarland University (Saarbrücken, Germany) where he worked on topological defects in chains of trapped ions, and the influence of noise in adiabatic quantum computing. Since February 2025, he works in Strasbourg on tensor-network based methods to optimally unravel open quantum systems.

Yiwen Han (Post-doc): Yiwen is broadly interested in theoretical research on AMO physics, especially non-equilibrium physics in open quantum systems. After completing her Ph.D. in the summer of 2025 at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) under the supervision of Prof. Wei Yi, she came to Strasbourg to continue her research. Here, she is exploring the novel physical phenomena and dynamics within dissipative molecular systems.

Ruben Daraban (PhD student): After obtaining his Master's degree in physics at the University of Strasbourg in 2023, Ruben continued his studies with a PhD project afterwards. His research focuses on studying entanglement buildup in quantum circuits using classical simulations based on tensor network methods.

Réka Schwengelbeck (PhD student): After obtaining her master's degree in physics from Freie Universität Berlin (master thesis at chair of Prof. Schollwöck at LMU Munich), Réka continues her academic journey by pursuing a PhD at the University of Strasbourg, where she is working on molecular dynamics under collective strong coupling.

Maxence Pandini (PhD student): After obtaining his master's degree in physics at the University of Strasbourg, Maxence continues his academic journey with a PhD project. His research focuses on computational quantum many-body approaches based on discrete quantum phase spaces.

Sakshi Velvankar (PhD student): After obtaining her master’s degree in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune, Sakshi continues her academic journey by pursuing a PhD project. She is working on computational approaches for quantum dynamics in systems with light-matter coupling.

Devashish Tiwari (PhD student): After completing his Master's degree in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Bhopal, where he worked on long-range interacting quantum systems using Quantum Monte Carlo methods, Devashish joined the University of Strasbourg as a PhD student. His research interests lie at the interface of quantum many-body physics, entanglement theory, and light–matter interactions in molecular systems.

Sinara Santos Dourado (visiting PhD student): From UFSCar – São Carlos in Brazil (under the supervision of Prof. Celso J. Villas-Boas). Quantum theory researcher with a bachelor and a master degree from UFMT – Mato Grosso (supervised by Prof. Daniel Valente). Currently working on large-scale computational approached to quantum thermodynamics
