Uroš Delić wins ERC Starting Grant
Uroš Delić wins ERC Starting Grant
4 September 2025
Assistant Professor Uroš Delić has been awarded a highly competitive ERC Starting Grant to pioneer experiments that connect the quantum behavior of single atoms in optical tweezers with that of optically levitated nanoparticles, pushing the boundary between the quantum and classical worlds.
Delić’s group adapts tools from atomic physics—notably optical tweezers and control techniques—to trap and control particles that are enormous by quantum standards, each made of billions of atoms. By engineering a hybrid quantum system, the team now aims to test fundamental physics and the limits of quantum physics while opening new avenues for quantum technologies.

The group is starting afresh across town in the Atominstitut of TU Wien. Our brand new lab is entirely furbished and ready to see a build-up of new experiments! Stay tuned and reach out if you're interested in a visit.
START Award for Uroš Delić
START Award for Uroš Delić
20 June 2024
Uroš Delić received one of the prestigious START Awards from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). This will allow the group to build experiments that explore nonreciprocal interactions between optically levitated nanoparticles in the quantum regime. Our research will be hosted by TU Wien. You can read more about the research questions which we will explore here (in German).
