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 ...

This week Andreas Alexander Buchheit from the Universität des Saarlandes visited us. He gave a talk entitled "Numerical methods for quantum matter with long-range interactions" in our talk series of the FAU Profile Center Light.Matter.QuantumTechnologies. We further intensively discussed to directly...

We welcome Jan Hartmann as new member of our team. He works as a Bachelor student for the next three months on a topic in the field of frustrated quantum magnetism.

New preprint arXiv:2405.12405 entitled „Unprecedented Fractional Magnetization Plateaus in a New Shastry-Sutherland Ising Compound“! Nice experimental-theory collaboration between Duke University, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Oak Ridge National Lab, and National H...

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...

Robin Krill successfully defended his master project entitled "Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations for Extended Bose-Hubbard Models" at the University of the Saarland (UdS). He has been jointly supervised by Giovanna Morigi (UdS) and Kai Phillip Schmidt from LEP. In his thesis he developped and applied ...
