Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.

Recently we have predicted a new quasiparticle - the angulon - which is formed when a quantum impurity (such as an electron, atom, or molecule) exchanges its orbital angular momentum with a many-particle environment (such as lattice phonons or a Fermi sea). [more]

Nonreciprocity and modulation in optomechanics (Dr. Daniel Malz)

Nonreciprocal devices such as circulators or isolators are essential devices in signal processing. [more]

Relativistic dynamical reduction models: an overview of the latest results (T. Guaita)

The dynamical reduction program is an attempt to modify the laws of quantum mechanics in order to solve the measurement and macro-objectification problems. [more]

Excitation basis for gauge models of topological phases (Dr. C. Delcamp)

The lattice Hamiltonian of Kitaev’s model yields electric and magnetic excitations located at punctures. [more]

From strong passivity to extended second law of thermodynamics and new thermodynamic predictions on quantum microscopic systems (Dr. R. Uzdin)

To thermodynamically address quantum nanoscopic scenarios that involve very small thermal baths and strong system-bath correlation, we suggest a new framework that is based on the principle of passivity. [more]
