Dr. Ralf Riedinger has accepted the call to the W1-TT-W2 professorship on “Experimentalphysik mit dem Schwerpunkt Quantenoptik" / "Experimental Quantum Optics" at the Institute of Laser Physics. He will start his research at the Department of Physics and in the Cluster of Excellence "CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter" on 1...

Since the end of 2020, structural biologist Dr. Andrea Thorn and her team have been strengthening the diverse Corona research at Universität Hamburg. She will continue to lead the "Corona Structural Task Force" at the Department of Physics, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, as well...

Quantum systems will be crucial to future technologies. However, in order to use such systems in practical applications, it is necessary to control and manipulate them with great precision. A Hamburg research team has now succeeded in controlling and measuring a quantum system with hitherto unattainable temporal precision...

An international research team involving the Theory department of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter has developed a unique platform to program a layered crystal, producing imaging capabilities beyond common limits on demand. The discovery by the team from Columbia University, the MPSD, the...

Superconductivity – the ability of a material to transmit an electric current without loss – is a quantum effect that, despite years of research, is still limited to very low temperatures. Now a team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) has succeeded in creating a...
