My dear friend and colleague Christian Knobloch successfully defended his thesis on “Coherent matter-wave manipulation techniques” today! Hurra!
Finding the ultimate grating for atomic matter-waves
What happens when you accelerate hydrogen atoms to a breathtaking velocity of 120’000 m/s and shoot them onto the thinnest membrane there is? You get a absolutely fascinating diffraction pattern! In our new publication we theoretically describe what to expect and how this is the ultimate mechanical grating for atomic matter-waves. More information can be found here soon.

Meet us at the “Lange Nacht der Forschung” in Vienna
On the 13.th of April the “Lange Nacht der Forschung” (long night of research) will give everybody a great opportunity to get an idea about science and research made in Austria. Our contribution will be presented at the “Altes AKH” in Vienna where we are part of the team from the Vienna Doctoral Program of Complex Quantum Systems (COQUS). If you are around, please come by and discuss with us! The official program can be found here.

Spring meeting of the DPG in Erlangen
I just spend a very nice and inspriring week at the spring meeting of the German Physical Society in Erlangen, Germany. It’s great to come together with some many people, discuss in a very informal setting and make new connections you never thought of before.

Visit at Center for Free-Electron Laser Science in Hamburg
Last week I spend two very exciting days in the group of Jochen Küpper at the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, which is at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany. It’s amazing to take a look at research done in these large facilities with unique equipment like a free electron laser.
