Our understanding of physics evolves hand in hand with advances in our ability to measure and control the properties of light and matter. Isolated atoms and molecules have long served as one of the most controllable systems to study and answer fundamental questions in physics. Recent developments in metrology, such as optical clocks with an […]

The master plan initiated by the Braunschweig-Hannover research region is a new way of ensuring that the participating universities are future-proof in national and international competition. The corresponding cooperation agreement between TU Braunschweig, Leibniz Universität Hannover and the Ministry of Science and Culture of the German State of Lower Saxony came into force on 01.01.2016. The funding of the three research lines was

In the QuantumFrontiers research program, we explore light and matter at the quantum frontier. This means that we are using quantum metrology and nanometrology to improve the sensitivity and precision of measurements, i.e., the fundamentals of metrology. These advances in the fundamentals of metrology enable new precision measurements and measurement technologies that allow us to

Our goal is to realize a 50-qubit quantum computer based on ion traps by the end of 2025. This technology is currently considered one of the world’s most promising approaches for scalable quantum computers, as it allows operation at room temperature and with the lowest error rates. 5 Years 25 Mio.
