Tim Langen's scientific home is now the Research Unit of Cold Molecules and Quantum Technologies Physics at the Institute of Atomic and Subatomic Physics. There he is researching cold atoms and molecules for quantum science and technology. This includes experiments with dipolar molecules to use them to study new forms of quantum matter and for precision measurements of fundamental physical laws.
