Q.com

The research network Quantum Communication (Q.com) focuses on investigating the concept of long distance quantum communication. Here the repeater amplifier of classical long distance communication links is replaced by a quantum repeater. Quantum repeater devices require components which are also essential for other applications of quantum information processing.

Elitenetzwerk Bayern “Topologische Isolatoren”

The International Doctorate Program is focusing on investigating the fundamental properties and potential applications of topological insulators. Topological insulators are a new state of matter with unique physical characteristics: their surfaces or edges are electrically conducting while the bulk of the material remains insulating. Additionally, the electron spin plays a decisive role for the conduction properties in these surfaces or edges, making topological insulators a very interesting subject for scientific studies. This also means that topological insulators are prime candidates for potential spintronic applications.

iCspec

The iCspec project focuses on the in-line process control of many technically relevant gases such as hydrocarbons (HC). The main purpose of the project is to develop gas analyzers beyond the state-of-the-art for fast in-line multi-component monitoring of gas compositions in a process stream and to replace currently employed analyzers as gas chromatographs (GCs) or Fourier-Transform-Infrared spectrometers (FTIRs).

ERC Unlimit2D

Controlling light- and matter excitations down to the microscopic scale is one major challenge in modern optics. Applications arising from this field, such as novel coherent- and quantum light sources have the potential to affect our daily life. unLiMIt-2D aims to establish novel materials like monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides as a new platform in solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics.

TOPOPOLIS

The TOPOPOLIS project is a 24 month fellowship in the framework of Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions and got its name from TOPOlogical POLaritons In Semiconductor microstructures. It is aimed at the fundamental understanding and realization of topologically protected edge modes in a hybrid light-matter system. These hybrid states are so-called exciton-polaritons, hosted by technologically well-developed semiconductor structures.
