QuCoLiMa is a collaboration of a wide range of researchers from different areas of physics including condensed matter physics, quantum optics, light-matter interaction and quantum information. In order to establish a common knowledge basis for all students within QuCoLiMa, we came up with the idea o...

As we may remember from school, an atom consists of a nucleus and a certain amount of electrons in the atomic shell. Similar to marbles running down the marble run or apples falling from trees, these electrons strive for lowering their potential energy.

This week, Prof. Girish S. Agarwal from Texas A&M University will be visiting Erlangen. During his stay, Prof. Agarwal will give a Distinguished QuCoLiMa Guest Talk on Thursday, March 16, at 11:00 about Time Reversed Quantum Metrology using Squeezed States of Light and Matter It is now wel...

This workshop introduces "gender competence" to the participants in their research and teaching areas and an increasingly mentioned requirement for professorships or other academic posts. The term "gender competence" and its various aspects (e.g. sub-competences) will be outlined, contextualized and...

For a compelling presentation of one's research, more than just great data is needed. The audience should be picked up and carried along by the speaker. This can be achieved by making the visual presentation of the slides appealing and clear. Furthermore, the posture, voice and presence of the speak...

What is the perfect mirror? From a physical point of view, it is a device that reflects any incoming light without loss. Everyday materials that are e.g. found in your bathroom are far away from that benchmark. But even high quality optics for lab applications don’t do the job completely.

Successful third-party funding acquisition is one crucial performance indicator in science. Moreover, good scientific projects need financial support from third-party funding. In light of limited public funding, securing sources of financial support is an important task for a scientist. However, for...

QuCoLiMa’s Female Scientists is a program inspired by the corresponding program of the German Physical Society. Here, we will highlight female scientists of QuCoLiMa and their field of research in order to contribute to “fixing the leaky pipeline“ (less female professors than students in the natural...

Looking forward to cooperative times! All best from QuCoLiMa!        

The last big milestone in a PhD is the oral defence of the dissertation, which brings particular challenges in communication. This workshop is aimed at doctoral candidates who want to prepare intensively for their disputation. Based on the participants' individual experiences, presentation technique...
