810. WE-Heraeus-Seminar — Condensates of Light
12 May 2024 - 16 May 2024 • Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany
Organizer:
Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation
Abstract:
Bose-Einstein condensation has in the last thirty years been observed in several physical systems, including cold atomic gases and exciton-polaritons, which are mixed states of matter and light in solid state systems. Other than massive particles photons usually do not exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation despite having bosonic nature, the background being that in blackbody radiation, as the textbook example for a photonic gas, the chemical potential vanishes, and at low temperature photons vanish instead of exhibiting condensation. More recently, Bose-Einstein condensations of photons has been observed in low-dimensional systems, e.g. by confining light in dye-solution filled optical microresonators, the use of plasmonic nanoparticle arrays or erbium-doped fiber cavities. Quantum fluids of light have allowed for the observation of novel quantum liquid effects, both in the regimes of near and partial thermal equilibrium. The seminar will illuminate the different platforms and the effects observed in this rapidly evolving field.

Cavity control of quantum materials
14 May 2024 - 17 May 2024 • Hamburg (CFEL located at the DESY campus), Germany
Abstract:
Cavities have emerged as a powerful tool for material control, enabling new phases of matter, engineering dynamical processes in cold atoms and altering chemical reaction rates. At the heart of this potentially revolutionary technology lies the fundamental question: to what extent can quantum fluctuations of light be leveraged to control static and dynamical properties of many-body systems through cavities. To tackle this question, we seek to convene experts across diverse research domains focused on cavity-based material control. This interdisciplinary gathering aims to cross fertilize different disciplines with new methods and approaches. In particular topics of interest include: Identifying new avenues of material control using quantum light and addressing the potential and limitations of these physical processes. Exploring new “cavity” platforms such as surface plasmons, photonic crystals or other photonic structures capable of confining light and amplifying quantum fluctuations. Reaching new regimes of light matter coupling and entanglement. Elucidating novel physical phenomena unlocked in light-matter hybrid experiments and unveiling applications of cavities for quantum technologies.

816. WE-Heraeus-Seminar — Silicon Carbide: Classical and Quantum Technologies
28 Jul 2024 - 31 Jul 2024 • Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany
Organizer:
Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation
Abstract:
Silicon carbide (SiC) is today’s leading third-generation semiconductor, and the first to demonstrate a light emitting diode. Its extraordinary thermo-electric properties made it the dominating semiconductor for high power electronics, such as electric mobility. Since more than ten years, the SiC industry continues growing at an annual rate of 30%, and more than 70% global market share is held by STMicroelectronics and Infineon. This makes silicon carbide one of the very few semiconductors in which Europe is competitive. The continued research on improving “classical” SiC material production and fabrication has propelled the creation of a new valorisation pathway: The emerging field of SiC “quantum” technologies. Especially in the last 5 - 10 years, colour centres in SiC have shown a disruptive potential across all relevant fields in quantum technologies. This seminar brings together the leading experts in SiC quantum and classical technologies, including partners from academia, RTOs, and industry.

DPG-Lehrerfortbildung — Geschichte der Quantenphysik / Quantenphysik im Alltag
21 Oct 2024 - 25 Oct 2024 • Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany
Abstract:
Rechtzeitig vor Beginn des Quantenjahres 2025, in dem die Quantenmechanik 100 Jahre alt wird, will die Fortbildung zur Geschichte der Quantenphysik Lehrerinnen und Lehrer auch historisch einmal auf den neusten Stand bringen. Zu oft werden im Physikunterricht Anekdoten und vermeintliche Geschichten wiederholt, die lange widerlegt sind: von h wie Hilfsgröße zu Heisenbergs Heureka auf Helgoland. Darüber hinaus können Episoden aus der Physikgeschichte auch im Unterricht didaktisch sinnvoll eingesetzt werden und helfen zudem, ein realistischeres Bild von der physikalischen Forschung zu geben.

822. WE-Heraeus-Seminar — Chirality and Quantum Spin – a Critical Assessment
02 Dec 2024 - 05 Dec 2024 • Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany
Organizer:
Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation
Abstract:
For electrons moving in chiral molecules, one spin projection is more likely to be transported through the structure than the other, despite that the chiral molecule is often diamagnetic. This is the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. It is a quantum phenomenon that is based on chirality, spin-orbit coupling, particle-particle interaction, and compositeness. However, exactly how these aspects are brought together and result in the CISS effect is yet an enigma. This question, among several others, will be discussed in this seminar, with the aim to reach some clarification.
