Quantum mechanics is known for being complex — not just because of its counter-intuitive concepts, like particles existing in multiple places at once, but also because it fundamentally relies on…
It may sound counterintuitive, but sometimes noise can actually improve a measurement. In the quantum world, the chaotic nature of noise is not just a disturbance, but it carries valuable…
With the introduction of hollow-core fibers (HCFs), previously infeasible sensor concepts based on optically trapped microparticles inside an air-filled core of the HCF become available, enabling a high spatial resolution…
Recently, a team from the Chair of Experimental Physics, together with colleagues from the Department of Chemistry, developed a novel method to achieve spatially controlled non-covalent functionalization of twisted bilayer…
In their recent work published in Nature Partner Journal Quantum Information, Timo Eckstein, Refik Mansuroglu, Piotr Czarnik, Jian-Xin Zhu, Michael Hartmann, Lukasz Cincio, Andrew Sornborger, and Zoë Holmes present an…
Quantum entanglement is a prerequisite for a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications or quantum computing. As photons, i.e. quanta of light, can propagate very…
In a breakthrough that could revolutionise biomarker detection, researcher Hanieh Fattahi and her group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light have developed a novel technique called…
In their recent work, Janina Maultzsch’s group study atomically thin, two-dimensional semiconductors, which are widely used to create platforms for the investigation of physical phenomena like superconductivity. In order to…
Recent results published in Nature Communications, bring researchers closer to being technologically able to harvest some of the unique properties of systems falling in a hybrid quantum state of both…
Soot particles originate from incomplete combustion, for example in engines or wildland fires, and pose a pollutant harmful to human health and significantly contributing to climate change. In their recent…
