Thomas Udem, group leader at the MPQ, has successfully acquired an ERC Advanced Grant with a volume of 2.5 million euros. He will use the funds to his project H-SPECTR to further advance precision experiments on the spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen and deuterium and thus gradually uncover new physics beyond the standard model.

Dr Bañuls, group leader in the Theory Department at MPQ, has earned special recognition in her many years of excellent research of complex quantum systems, and is now starting her own W2 research group. Her research focuses on the development and application of tensor network methods for the numerical simulation of quantum many-body systems and quantum dynamic phenomena beyond equilibrium.more
Nathalie Picqué, a pioneer in dual-comb spectroscopy, has commenced a director position at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI) in Berlin, where she will establish the Division of Precision Physics. In addition, the researcher has accepted a tenured professorship at Humboldt University.more
Happy International Women‘s Day - what‘s it like to be a women in physics or quantum optics today? In our newest video portrait, three of our young and aspiring female scientists – Maya Büki, Nathalie Lenke and Suchita Agrawal – take us with them into their life and research at MPQ and share some of their own experiences, backgrounds and perspectives.
