Official take-off for the Institute of Quantum Technologies
Quantum technologies may shape the future of our planet in many ways, affecting the way we communicate, the questions we pose, and the answers we give. Already now, quantum effects provide the highest precision for a number of applications in … Continue reading
The morphology of doubly-clamped graphene nanoribbons
When you pull at the two ends of a scarf, folds start to build up in the fabric. When you do the same for a ribbon made of single-layer graphene, you get folds, scrolls or just a flat membrane. How … Continue reading
Section Editor for Data in Brief
With the beginning of this year, I’ll work as a Section Editor for “Physics and Mathematics” at Data in Brief.
Paper on Bragg diffraction selected as Editor’s Suggestion
Our paper on Bragg diffraction was selected as Editor’s Suggestion by Phys. Rev. Lett. and featured in a Synpsios in Physics.
Bragg diffraction of large organic molecules
Bragg diffraction is one of the main techniques used to split and recombine atomic matter-waves. In our latest publication we transfer this technique to complex and internally hot molecules. Why this is a big step towards more efficient beam … Continue reading
Publication in Optics Express
Our manuscript on measuring laser beam profiles using a cut multi-mode fiber was published in Optics Express.
New preprint on a fiber-based beam profiler
How can you measure the width of a high-power laser 100 µm away from a mirror in ultra-high vacuum? Find the answer here!
Member of German Aerospace Center
After six very enjoyable and productive years in Vienna, I’m slowly preparing to head off for new shores to start an independent research group. This will be part of the newly-established Institute of Quantum Technologies, which is in turn part … Continue reading
Editorial Board Member
Starting with the end of June, I’ll start serving the community as Editorial Board Member for Elsevier’s data journal “Data in Brief”. So if you have a set of data you want to share with others, this might be a … Continue reading
Congratulations to Dr. Christian Knobloch
My dear friend and colleague Christian Knobloch successfully defended his thesis on “Coherent matter-wave manipulation techniques” today! Hurra!
