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…
FAU physicists investigate behavior of electrons in intense quantum light A working group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has made an important contribution to investigating the fundamental connections between strong field…
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…
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…
The Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies is represented with two articles in the new magazine “#FAUmenschen” featuring Vojislav Krstić and Gerhard Wellein. The articles can be read online following the links below…
During the year of quantum physics, three scientists from this discipline have received a special honor: the Nobel Prize in Physics. The researchers created the basis for the development of…
Foundation for a future quantum network – quantum channels tested in flight It is not easy to send individual photons from an aircraft in a targeted manner, capture them in…
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…
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…
Fastest AI computer at German universities Cutting-edge technology for research: The Erlangen National High-Performance Computing Center at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (NHR@FAU) has officially inaugurated the currently most powerful supercomputer at universities…
