Quantenphysik in der Nanophysik mit Prof. Andreas Tittl (LMU)

In the organizer's words:

On the occasion of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the Cluster of Excellence "Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology", in collaboration with the Faculty of Physics at LMU Munich, is organizing a fascinating public lecture series.

The series offers an exciting journey through the extensive history of quantum theory, its fundamental postulates and the fascinating advances in current research.

Quantum physics in nanophysics
Prof. Andreas Tittl | LMU Munich

Nanophysics investigates structures and phenomena on the nanometer scale, where the laws of classical physics are increasingly being superseded by the principles of quantum mechanics. A particularly promising field of research is the interaction of light and matter on this size scale. Such interactions make it possible not only to observe quantum effects, but also to manipulate them in a targeted manner and harness them for novel applications. This lecture provides an introduction to the fascinating world of the connection between quantum physics and nanophotonics. Using selected examples from current research, it will show how light can be focused in extremely small objects and combined with quantum effects to enable novel applications, ranging from the generation of single photons to the development of nanolasers with extraordinary properties.

The event is open to anyone interested in the topic and will be held in German. Free admission.

We look forward to welcoming you to the event!
