My name is Michael Werner and I’m working on quantum systems in non-trivial gravity.
My interest lies in the interplay of atoms with weakly curved spacetimes and gravity that goes beyond linear acceleration.
Undergraduate
Bachelor & Master: 2016 and 2019 in Quantum Information under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Reinhard Werner (now retired)
Details Bachelor
Topic: Generalizing Wigner functions from position and momentum variables to arbitrary operator tuples. In doing so, one needs to extend the realm of function to distributions.
Title (German): “Wigner-Funktionen für beliebige Operatortupel”
Translated Title: “Wigner Functions for arbitrary operator tuples”
Details Master
Topic: How can one describe continuous measurement processes using the quantum information formalism without running into a quantum Zeno paradox.
Title: “One-dimensional field theories arising from continuous measurement”
Graduate
PhD: 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Klemens Hammerer (now U. Innsbruck)
Details PhD
Title: Description of Atom Interferometers in Weakly Curved Spacetimes
Year: 2025
Topic: We explore the modeling of quantum systems, such as atoms, within a weakly curved spacetime using a two-parameter class of test theories known as the Parametrized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism.
Postgraduate
#1 PostDoc: Quantum Sensing Group of Dr. Naceur Gaaloul (Theory group within the Institute of Quantum Optics Hannover)

Wolfgang Pauli to Jagdish Mehra (Berkeley in May 1958):
“The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.”
