Philipp Stammer

I am currently a visiting PhD Student at QUIT from the Quantum Optics Theory group of Maciej Lewenstein at ICFO in Barcelona. The matters pertaining in my research are the notions of Photons and Information. The concept of the photon enters when working on the quantum optical description of intense laser driven systems, and information is studied in the context of data compression.

Information can then be used to estimate the possibility of how things will evolve in the future with some probability. But, we do not know how things evolve until they have evolved. Exactly at this point roots the misconception about laws of nature for me. Namely, to believe, that we know how things will evolve. Although everybody knows, that we can not know, and tomorrow morning the sun can explode, and all the misconception was a waste of time.
