Scientists at the Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have advanced the technique of holography by implementing it with optical frequency combs. Now, thousands of holograms over all colors of the rainbow can be recorded. more

With the help of high-resolution microscopy, scientists at MPQ successfully observed the transformation of a metal of magnetic polarons into a normal Fermi liquid. Furthermore, the team was able to measure novel correlations that could serve as a basis for theoretical models of strongly-correlated electrons. more

Scientists at MPQ succeed for the first time in teleporting quantum information encoded in an atomic qubit to a laboratory 60 meters away using just one single photon as a resource. more

Using intense pulses of laser light, members of the attoworld team at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and the Ludwig-Maximilian University have synthesized trihydrogen ions from water molecules adsorbed onto nanoparticles. more

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) and Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich (LMU) have used ultrashort laser pulses to probe the dynamics of photoelectron emission in tungsten crystals. more

Entanglement is one of the most important properties of quantum particles and a core resource of many emerging quantum technologies. However, its leverage as a resource is limited as entanglement is a fragile phenomenon that is often destroyed upon detection. Until now: A team of physicists at MPQ has developed a novel technique to detect entangled states of distant qubits while still preserving their entanglement. more

In collaborative international effort, laser physicists at LMU have built the first hybrid plasma accelerator more
