Technical University of Munich

Vibrating Nanostrings

Eva Weig and her team are building mechanical quantum sensors large enough to be seen under an electron microscope. One day, they could become fundamental components of a new quantum technology.

LMU Munich

Quantum Physics and Graphene

They call it the "magic angle." If an experiment slightly shifts two layers of graphene relative to each other, the carbon material—surprisingly—becomes superconductive. With this trick, scientists such as LMU researcher Dmitri Efetov have opened the door to a new realm of physics.

FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg

Quantum Mechanics 2.0

Metrology, computing, communications: quantum research in Erlangen has a broad base. The team of researchers at FAU and the nearby Max Planck Institutes is also at the forefront of international advances in quantum imaging, quantum computing, and encryption.

LMU Munich

A Bridge to the Quantum World

Monika Aidelsburger elucidates the nature of many-body quantum phenomena. Her ERC Starting Grant has been topped up by an LMU Tenure-Track Professorship to pursue this work.

University of Regensburg

The Quantum World in Motion

Rupert Huber’s experimental work in terahertz and solid-state physics at the interface of optics and electronics is internationally renowned. His fundamental research is used in ultrafast atomic-resolution microscopes and quantum information processing.
