Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.
Host: MPQ, Theory Division

Using macroscopic quantum systems as detectors (Prof. Swati Singh)

When properly engineered, simple quantum systems such as harmonic oscillators or spins can be excellent detectors of feeble forces and fields. [more]

Topological effects in dissipative quantum systems (Marcel Wagner)

The concept of topological order seems to be understood on a high level in dissipation-free quantum systems, i.e. in absence of a reservoir or bath. [more]

Symmetry reduction induced by anyon condensation: a tensor network approach (José Garre Rubio)

Topological ordered phases are related to changes in the properties of their quasi-particle excitations (anyons). [more]

The emergence of contractility in biological fiber networks (Dr. P. Ronceray)

Large-scale force generation is essential for biological functions such as cell motility, embryonic development, and muscle contraction. [more]

Acoustic Control of Light and Matter on a Chip (Prof. H. Krenner)

Phonons, the quanta of mechanical vibrations mediate the propagation of sound and heat in condensed matter. [more]
