Aspects of Topological Photonics (Prof. M. Rechtsman)

Date: May 17, 2016
Time: 02:30 PM - 04:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Mikael Rechtsman, Penn State University, USA
Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
Host: MPQ

The beauty of topological materials is that their electronic properties can be essentially described by integer topological invariants associated with their band structures. [more]

How to catch, and detect, a photon (Prof. W. Tittel)

Date: May 20, 2016
Time: 11:00 AM - 01:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Tittel, Institute for Quantum Science and Technology, and Department of Physics & Astronomy, University of Calgary, Canada
Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
Host: MPQ

Future quantum networks will allow the secure distribution of encryption keys over extended distances, blind quantum computing, and networked quantum computers and atomic clocks. [more]

Quantum metrology with Bose Einstein Condensates (Prof. M. Oberthaler)

Date: May 31, 2016
Time: 02:30 PM - 03:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Markus Oberthaler, Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Universität Heidelberg
Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
Host: MPQ

One aspect of metrology, the science of measurement, is the exploration of the ultimate precision limit. It is known for quite some time that the new possibilities in quantum mechanics allow the surpassing of the ultimate classical precision limit given by counting statistics. [more]

Ultrafast dynamics of spins and spin currents: magnetic storage and spintronic THz emitter (Prof. M. Münzenberg)

Date: Jun 7, 2016
Time: 02:30 PM - 03:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Markus Münzenberg, Department of Physics, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-University, Greifswald
Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
Host: MPQ

Magnetization manipulation is an indispensable tool for both basic and applied research. I will discuss some of the knobs to tune dynamics at ultrafast time scales. [more]
