[DECODE Quantum] Meeting with Wilhelm Kaenders - Toptica
Description
Welcome to the 83rd episode of Decode Quantum, the quantum podcast where we like to get in depth in quantum science and technology, this time with Wilhelm Kaenders, the president and CTO of Toptica.
Wilhelm Kaenders is the co-founder of Toptica, because he had one other co-founder. He is now its president and CTO. The company is a worldwide leader in lasers used in mostly the academic world, but also in some parts of the industry. Wilhelm did his PhD in quantum physics at the Institute of Quantum Optics in Hanover, in the group of Dieter Meschede. He was behind the technology of the group of Theodor Hänsch at the Max Planck Institute, who became the laureate of the Nobel Prize in physics exactly 20 years ago, 2005. He pioneered the business of tunable diode laser technology and contributed to the development of the technology of the optical frequency comb. He created Toptica in 1998, which is probably one of the oldest companies in the enabling tech for quantum technology.
