Nanophysics: The Right Twist
Stacked layers of ultrathin semiconductor materials feature phenomena that can be exploited for novel applications. A team led by LMU physicist Alexander Högele has studied effects that emerge by giving two layers a slight twist.
Matchmaking atoms into a new molecular Fermi gas
Researchers create a degenerate Fermi gas of molecules by leveraging a quantum phase transition for the first time.
Microwaves direct the interplay of waltzing molecules
The existence of so-called super molecules has long been predicted theoretically. Now, Max Planck researchers managed for the first time to create the conditions for proving these exotic entities.
Quantum simulator enables first microscopic observation of charge carriers pairing
Researchers have monitored how, for the first time, holes (positive charge carriers) combined to form pairs in a solid-state model.
About
The Cluster of Excellence Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) comprises over 60 research groups from disciplines like physics, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, material science and chemistry, covering all areas of quantum science and technology from basic research to applications.
The core goal of MCQST is to discover and understand the novel and unifying concepts in the interdisciplinary research fields of Quantum Science and Technology (QST). The cluster aims to make QST tangible and to develop the extraordinary applications within reach by building next-generation quantum devices.
