Scientists at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics directly observe incommensurate magnetism in Hubbard chains. more

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and Umeå University have, for the first time, made use of plasmas consisting of relativistic electrons to generate isolated and highly intense attosecond laser pulses. more

Recent advances in quantum research have made it possible to map the strong interactions between Rydberg atoms on optical photons by making use of electromagnetically induced transparency. Now, for the first time, researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have exploited this mechanism to implement a photon-photon quantum gate. This all-optical logic gate provides precise control over single photons, and its realization opens a route to new applications in quantum communication and quantum networks. more

A new Europe-wide programme on advancing technologies for quantum networks is being launched. more

In the context of the project, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics together with research partners from academia and industry plan to develop next-generation quantum simulation platforms. These new systems will advance the state-of-the-art in quantum simulation and will provide modular building blocks for a future generation of quantum simulators. more

Researchers at the TU Munich, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the TU of Vienna have succeeded in measuring the precise duration of the photoelectric response.   more

Physicists at MPQ in Garching observe strong interactions between photons of different colour in an atom-cavity system. more
