In our Lab for Emergent Phenomena we focus on one of the central paradigms in modern science: The physics of collective behaviour and organising principles. We develop theoretical concepts and tools to enhance our understanding of emergent phenomena in quantum science of light and matter, soft-matter physics, and cosmology.
Kai Phillip Schmidt and his team won the teaching award 2025 of the physics department for the lecture „quantum mechanics (theoretical physics 3)“ held in the summer term 2024.
New preprint entitled „Quantum Monte Carlo study of the bond- and site-diluted transverse-field Ising model“ (arXiv:2505.07627) dealing with the effects of dilution on the critical properties of quantum matter! This work is a nice piece of work from Calvin Krämer and Max Hörmann from kps_lab at ...
Congratulations to Dr. Paul Fadler who has very successfully defended his phd last Friday (09.05.2025) at our chair at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg! He was jointly supervised by Martin Eckstein (now University of Hamburg) and Kai Phillip Schmidt focusing on „quantum and classical light-matter couplin...
Congratulations to Nico Bassler who has defended very successfully his doctoral thesis entitled "Quantum Optics with Atoms and Molecules" on Tuesday, 06.05.2025. Nico was jointly supervised by Claudiu Genes at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (now Technische Universität Darmstadt) w...
Today the president of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg Joachim Hornegger visited our LEP as well as the FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies. Great exchange on various topics including our research on quantum science of light and matter, future projects and activities. Of course, also our team ...
