The LMU Center for NanoScience and four LMU spin-off companies present the Nano Innovation Award for particularly innovative doctoral theses. Andreas Gritsch, who completed his doctorate in the Otto Hahn Group Quantum Networks at MPQ, […]
Quantum transport from wave function snapshots
Researchers have studied nonequilibrium quantum dynamics of spin chains by employing principal component analysis (PCA) on data sets of wave function snapshots and examined how information propagates within these data sets. The quantities they have […]
Controlling the Waveform of Ultrashort Infrared Pulses
Ultrashort infrared light pulses are the key to a wide range of technological applications. The oscillating infrared light field can excite molecules in a sample to vibrate at specific frequencies, or drive ultrafast electric currents […]
Topological phase detected in spin chains
In a special arrangement of atomic spins, Max Planck physicists have measured the properties of the so-called Haldane phase in an experiment. To do so, they used a quantum mechanical trick. In some materials, there […]
More efficiency for optical quantum gates
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics succeeded in massively improving the performance of a component that is crucial to optical quantum systems. Future quantum computers are expected not only to solve particularly […]
Many body seminar: ZXH calculus for many-body problems
Richard East (QuEnG):The ZX calculus is a formal diagrammatic language typically used by computer scientists for the analysis and simplification of quantum circuits.
Theory Seminar: Light cone tensor network and time evolution
Miguel Frías (MPQ): The transverse folding is a tensor network method to compute timedependent local observables that can sometimes overcome the limitations ofmatrix product states.
Nathalie Nagl wins Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society
As part of her doctoral thesis, Nathalie Nagl developed a new generation of highly compact ultrashort pulse lasers in the infrared spectral range, which can be used, for example, to precisely analyze blood samples. This […]
Theory Seminar: Quantum Material’s Control and Quantum Nonlinear Optics in Cavity QED
Francesco Piazza (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden)
Antiprotons in superfluid: a new way for sensitive measurements of antimatter
A team of scientists at CERN led by MPQ physicist Masaki Hori has found that a hybrid antimatter-matter atom behaves in an unexpected way when submerged in superfluid helium. The result may open a new […]
