Theorists in the research group of Mari Carmen Bañuls at MPQ have come one step closer to understanding the evolution of quantum many body systems over time. In their work, recently published in the specialized journal Physical Review Letters, they formulated an algorithm to simulate the dynamics of quantum systems consisting of many particles out of equilibrium – a notoriously difficult task. more

Researchers have successfully developed a new technique for deciphering the properties of light and matter that can simultaneously detect and precisely quantify many substances with high chemical selectivity. Their technique interrogates the atoms and molecules in the ultraviolet spectral region at very feeble light levels - a breakthrough that paves the way for exciting new opportunities in photon-level diagnostics.  more

Researchers at MPQ have demonstrated a novel method to create tetratomic supermolecules at a so far unprecedented low-temperature scale down to 134 nK – a breakthrough with far-reaching implications for ultracold chemistry and quantum materials. more
