Outreach

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...

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...

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. Li...

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 ...

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 ...

LEP members Patrick Adelhardt, Antonia Duft, Sumeet, and Kai Phillip Schmidt have attended the international conference „Entanglement in strongly correlated systems“ at the Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual in Spain. They have exchanged about our recent advances on quantum magnets with l...

A team from Erlangen successfully participated in the German Physicists' Tournament (GPT) and reached the final. The team finished 3rd after teams from Aachen and Munich. The GPT 2025 took place in Heidelberg. The GPT is a competition where students have to work on open physics problems. At the t...

LEP member Chelsea has opened her own instagram channel (@science_chelsea). The science giraffe chelsea acts as our outreach voice who reports on our activities in the domain of Quantum Science of Light and Matter and gives insights behind the scenes. Follow her to learn more!

Nothing works as it should in the Physics Department, because … Physics has disappeared. How could this happen? Who is responsible for the disappearance? What a great show! On  December 3, 2024 the Christmas lecture 2024 of the physics department took place with more than 700 spectators. This yea...
