Prof. Dr. Michèle Heurs is a professor of experimental physics at @unihannover and leads the “Quantum Control” group.
She works in the field of quantum optics, in particular in non-classical laser interferometry, quantum metrology, and quantum opto-mechanics. Her group works on making (laser) light that is better than nature would like you to be able to have. It’s called „squeezed light“, and the group uses it for precision measurements. They exploit the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to reduce the noise in the measurement quantity they’re interested in, at the cost of increasing the noise in another (uninteresting one). This allows them to increase the precision of measurements to below the quantum level.
Examples of such sensitive measurements are gravitational-wave detection, where quantum noise already limits the measurement sensitivity over much of the detection band, but also applications in ultra-high precision spectroscopy, and quantum information, amongst others.
