Wolfgang P. Schleich

From 1980 to 1984, Schleich performed work on his diploma thesis and his Ph.D. with Marlan O. Scully at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, with an intermediate research visit at the Institute of Modern Optics, Albuquerque, United States from 1982 to 1983.

After completion of his Ph.D., he performed post-doctorate research with John Archibald Wheeler at the Center for Theoretical Physics in Austin, Texas.

From 1986 to 1991, he worked as a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching under Herbert Walther.

In 1991, Schleich was nominated professor of theoretical physics at the University of Ulm.

His recent work includes elaborations on the role of the Wigner function in terms of quantum optics.
