Abstract

There are a rich variety of ways molecules can interact with each other and their environment, and the span of possible timescales—from femtoseconds to nanoseconds. It is desirable to develop experiments that to reveal another…

Sarina Wunderlich completed her physics studies at the University of Erlangen from 2002 to 2007, working on lateral shearing interferometers under the supervision of Professor Lindlein for her diploma thesis. During her studies, she already gained practical experience through internships at Siemens…

Abstract

Can we prepare quantum-mechanical states of motion of macroscopic objects — for example, superposition states of massive objects where the distance scale of the superposition is as large as the object itself? Such states would…

On July 20th and 27th we had our first OOF-lectures at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL).

The “out-of-your-field” lectures were given by IMPRS-PM PIs who provided an…

We had the pleasure of listening to two wonderful lectures from the pioneer in microscopy Colin Sheppard, who was visiting MPL this week. He told us everyhing about the history of microscopy and its development. Besides, he also gave us a thorough insight into his own research which proved to be…

On May 30^th-31^st, 2022, IMPRS hosted a workshop at MPL on ‘Project and Time Management for Scientists’ with Dr. Alexander Britz. Day one focused on self- and time management strategies where participants learned about and practiced techniques like the Eisenhower matrix, the Pareto principle,…
