FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: Teaching and learning quantum physics via 2-state approaches: The context matters!
Research in quantum physics education aims to inform quantum physics instruction with empirical evidence on students’ learning processes and conceptual challenges. This is especially relevant as today’s students are tomorrow’s quantum professionals who will shape emerging quantum technologies. Quantum physics education has developed a range of research-based teaching–learning concepts, many of which build on two-state […]Research in quantum physics education aims to inform quantum physics instruction with empirical evidence on students’ learning processes and conceptual challenges.

FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: Faster Simulations with Smarter Data Use
Since the advent of multicore CPUs in the mid-2000s, the ability of computers to perform calculations has improved much faster than their ability to move data. The latter often becomes a bottleneck when the product of a large, sparse matrix and a vector is computed, which is a common operation in scientific codes. In many […]

Researchers discover ultrafast light-driven electron slide effect
Researchers demonstrate a previously unknown effect of electron acceleration with ultrashort laser pulses. Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the University of Rostock have discovered a groundbreaking effect in which electrons are strongly accelerated by just a single oscillation of a laser pulse. Previously, this effect was only visible with long laser pulses. Researchers have […]Researchers demonstrate a previously unknown effect of electron acceleration with ultrashort laser pulses.

FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: Coupling long-range interacting matter to a light mode
From gravity to electromagnetism, algebraically decaying long-range interactions are ubiquitous in nature. In the context of quantum many-body systems, repulsive algebraically decaying long-range interactions are relevant in a variety of analogue quantum simulation platforms based on atomic or molecular quantum optics systems such as trapped ions, ultracold trapped dipolar gases, or Rydberg-atom quantum simulators. In […]From gravity to electromagnetism, algebraically decaying long-range interactions are ubiquitous in nature.

FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: Quantum-enhanced electric field mapping within semiconductor devices
Quantum sensing based on color centers is a widely used quantum technology in various applications such as physics, biology, and engineering. It offers the possibility to precisely measure faint physical quantities like magnetic or electric fields at nanometer-scale resolution. Based on these capabilities, we investigated the complex interplay of charges and electric fields within an […]
