Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used and designed to augment human skills such as data analysis, text generation and image recognition. Its performance has surpassed that of humans in many…
In their recent work published in Quantum, our member Davide Lonigro and collaborators tackle a fundamental question about the nature of measurement in quantum mechanics: can we describe quantum measurements…
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…
The lecture series in the summer semester 2025 deals with small and tiny parts, reports on new developments in medical research and makes a contribution to the International Year of…
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…
Today, physicists are still asking themselves whether quantum mechanics needs hypercomplex numbers. FAU researchers Ece Ipek Saruhan, Prof. Dr. Joachim von Zanthier and Dr. Marc Oliver Pleinert have been investigating…
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…
