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.
Saturday, 28.06.2025, LEP member Kai Phillip Schmidt gave a public talk in the talk series „Moderne Physik am Samstag morgen“ (Modern Physics on Saturday Mornings) at the physics department of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg which is organized by Florian Marquardt (FAU/MPL). The talk was entitled „Quantum Sci...
Great News! We are happy that our article entitled "Melting of Devil's Staircases in the Long-Range Dicke-Ising Model" has been published in Physical Review B last week. The article is a nice collaboration from LEP members Jan Alexander Koziol, Anja Langheld, and Kai Phillip schmidt.
In the artic...
For the last two weeks we were happy to welcome Yoann Grisard-Vanhove in our team for a school internship. He is a French scholar, just 14, grew up in Australia and is highly interested in quantum science. We introduced him to our research and the way we work. It was really inspiring how open minded...
Using a Phase Field Crystal approach we have studied the behavior of grain boundaries in periodic and aperiodic crystals that are composed of patchy colloids. In case of periodic structures we find that the energy cost of a grain boundary is hardly affected by the preferred binding angles of the pat...
For students who are interested in a theses in the Quantum Science of Light and Matter team there is a new video for the UPhUF (Unsere Physik - unsere Forschung, our physics - our research) event. In addition, there will be a poster session on July 2nd, 2025 at 3pm in front of lecture hall HG.
