Congratulations to Dipl-Ing. Manuel Ederer

We congratulate Dipl.-Ing. Manuel Ederer to his great diploma thesis on double ionization of helium and an excellent diploma exam.

We wish him all the best for his future career and life in and outside of science. 

A metronome for quantum particles

A new measurement protocol, developed at TU Wien (Vienna), makes it possible to measure the quantum phase of electrons - an important step for attosecond physics. More

Milestones on the Way to the Nuclear Clock

If you want to build the most accurate clock in the world, you need something that “ticks” very fast and extremely precise. In an atomic clock, electrons are used, which can be switched back and forth between two different states in a very precisely...

Absolute timing of the photo-electric effect

It was one of the crucial experiments in quantum physics: when light falls on certain materials, electrons are released from the surface. Albert Einstein was the first to explain this phenomenon in 1905, when he spoke of "light quanta" - the...

A new kind of quantum bits in two dimensions

Florian Libisch's work on using two-dimensional materials for quantum electronics has been published recently in Nature Nanotechnology. For more information see the original publication and the TU press release.

New group member

We are very happy to welcome Hongcheng Ni as a new member in our group. He did his undergraduate studies in Nanjing University (China), got his PhD at the University of Colorado Boulder (USA) under supervision of Andreas Becker and was a PostDoc at...

Exotic State of Matter: An Atom Full of Atoms

Shuhei Yoshida's work on Rydberg Polarons enclosing a large number of atoms has been published recently in Physical Review Letters. For more information see the original publication and the TU press release.

Congratulations to Fabian Lackner

Fabian Lackner successfully finished his PhD studies on October 25th with a great PhD defense and thesis. The title of his thesis is: "Time-dependent two-particle reduced density matrix theory: application to multi-electron atoms and molecules in...

Posterprize for Isabella Floss

We congratulate Isabella Floss for the students Poster Prize which she won at the 14th International Conference On Multi-photon Processes (ICOMP 2017) in Budapest in the last week of September. She showed her recent results on High Harmonic...

Congratulations to Thomas Fabian

We congratulate Thomas Fabian to his excellent diploma work and exam. The title of his master thesis is "Mode Basis Approach to Quantum Transport Simulations".

We are very happy that he will continue his work on quantum transport calculations in his...
