FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: A tunable platform for correlated electrons on SiC
What happens when you place single transition metal atoms onto a SiC surface and arrange them into a perfect triangular pattern so that kinetic energy and Coulomb repulsion of the electrons are comparable? According to a new study by Henri Menke, Niklas Enderlein and collaborators, you get a remarkably versatile playground for some of the […]

Ceremonial farewell to the graduates of the Department of Physics
Last Friday, 8 May 2026, the Department of Physics held a ceremonial send-off for the graduates of the past academic year. This year, the Dean of Studies, Prof. Vojislav Krstić, welcomed Dr. Bernhard “Bernd” Montag, CEO of Siemens Healthineers AG, as a special guest. He himself studied physics at FAU and returned that evening to […]

FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: Calculating observables for high Tc cuprate models with dynamical mean-field theory
Strongly correlated electron materials are notoriously difficult to treat as, by definition, most of their properties cannot be predicted by mapping the quantum many-body problem to auxiliary single particle models (as done, e.g. in density functional theory) or perturbation theory. However, the plethora of exciting emergent phenomena seen in such materials – such as high-temperature superconductivity […]Strongly correlated electron materials are notoriously difficult to treat as, by definition, most of their properties cannot be predicted by mapping the quantum many-body problem to auxiliary single particle models (as done, e.g. in density functional theory) or perturbation theory.

Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften 2025
On October 25, 2025, the Long Night of Sciences 2025 will take place in the metropolitan region of Nuremberg-Fürth-Erlangen. In this context, the FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies will be particularly well represented due to the UN Quantum Year 2025. In particular, the main event of the FAU entitled “Understanding Quantum, Shaping the Future – The […]

FAU LMQ People Spotlight: Philipp Hansmann
In this FAU LMQ People Spotlight, we interviewed our member Philipp Hansmann, who leads the molecular materials group at the Friedrich-Alexander-University since 2020. What is your research topic? Quantum many-body systems as realized in molecules and solids. I am especially interested in systems/materials where effective single-particle approximations (like Hartree-Fock or DFT) break down. Our projects include […]In this FAU LMQ People Spotlight, we interviewed our member Philipp Hansmann, who leads the molecular materials group at the Friedrich-Alexander-University since 2020.

FAU LMQ welcomes two new members
The FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies will be further strengthened by two new members: Philipp Hansmann, Department of Physics, Davide Lonigro, Department of Physics. A warm welcome and fruitful collaborations! Feel free to check out their group’s websites, to find out more about their research and how it is connected to the profile center.
