Probing the Dynamics of Photoemission

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) and Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich (LMU) have used ultrashort laser pulses to probe the dynamics of photoelectron emission in tungsten crystals.

New boost in quantum technologies

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart were able to detect qubits in two-dimensional materials for the first time.  Quantum computers or quantum sensors consist of materials that are completely different to their classical predecessors. These […]

Tracking for quantum post

Even though quantum communication is tap-proof, it is so far not particularly efficient. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics want to change this. They have developed a detection method that can be […]

When memory qubits and photons get entangled

Scientists at the University of Bonn have been able for the first time to demonstrate quantum entanglement between a stationary qubit, i.e. a two-state quantum system, and a photon with direct coupling to an optical […]

Innovative Blood Test Based on Infrared Light

A new study carried out by a team of laser physicists, molecular biologists and physicians based at LMU Munich and the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics has confirmed the temporal stability of the molecular […]

Quantum systems learn joint computing

Today’s quantum computers contain up to several dozen memory and processing units, the so-called qubits. Researchers from MPQ have successfully interconnected two such qubits located in different labs to a distributed quantum computer. Their system […]
