Greiner studied under the Nobel Laureate Theodor Hansch at the Ludwig-Maximilians University and at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics, where he received his diploma and PhD in physics for experimental work in Bose-Einstein condensates. He was involved in the first realization of the a quantum phase transition from a superfluid to Mott insulator in a Bose gas.
He then moved to the United States and conducted postdoctoral research at JILA under Deborah Jin, working on the creation of a fermionic condensate of ultracold atoms. Since 2005 Greiner has been a professor at Harvard University, continuing research on BECs and ultracold Fermi gases.
He was recipient of the Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Research in AMO award of the American Physical Society in 2004 and the William L. McMillan award in 2005 for outstanding contributions in condensed matter physics. In 2011, he was named a MacArthur Fellow. He was awarded the I.I. Rabi Prize in AMO by the APS in 2013.
