	Quantum Chaos
	Max Planck researchers in Garching, Germany, demonstrate quantum chaos in atom ionisation for the first time Scientists at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, investigating the chaotic behaviour of the quantum world, have succeeded in giving the first ever demonstration of quantum chaos in atom ionisation.

	Atome unter Kontrolle
	Max-Planck-Forscher schaffen mit der "quasipermanenten" Speicherung eines Atoms zwischen zwei Spiegeln die Voraussetzung für verteilte Quantencomputer Komplexe Rechenoperationen ließen sich durch massive Parallelverarbeitung auf einem Quantencomputer erheblich beschleunigen. Die kleinsten Informationseinheiten sind dabei so genannte Quantenbits, ...

	Physics Nobel Prize 2005 goes to Theodor W. Hänsch
	Director of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany shares award with two US American physicists German physicist Theodor W. Hänsch, along with US Americans Roy J. Glauber and John L. Hall, has received this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to the development of spectroscopy. The prize money, equivalent to last year, is 10 million Swedish Kronor (1.1 million euros).

	First step towards nuclear atomic clock
	Researchers from Garching/Germany have developed a laser source in the extreme ultraviolet spectral region – multiple applications await holds promise for numerous applications Mode-locked lasers, emitting a train of ultrashort light pulses, have previously enabled the direct counting of the oscillations of visible light. This opened new perspectives, for instance for highly precise optical atomic clocks.

	X-rays have become laser-like
	Austrian-German research team demonstrates for the first time a source of coherent kiloelectronvolt X-rays, which promises extraordinary applications Radiologists and biologists have been dreaming – ever since the discovery of lasers – of a compact laboratory source emitting X-rays in one direction in a laser-like beam. Such a source would permit X-ray images to be recorded with far higher resolution at vastly reduced dose levels, allowing early-stage cancer diagnosis at dramatically reduced risk.
