- A Quantum Pen for Single Atoms
Physicists at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics succeeded in manipulating atoms individually in a lattice of light and in arranging them in arbitrary patterns. These results are an importa...
- International team of researchers observes unexpectedly small proton radius in a precision laser experiment with exotic hydrogen atoms
The proton - one of the universal building-blocks of all matter - is even smaller than had previously been assumed (Nature, 8 July 2010). This is the result obtained at the Paul-Scherrer-Institut (...
- Instantaneous trace gas fingerprint with laser frequency combs
Scientists at the MPQ record ultrasensitive absorption broadband spectra within tens of microseconds by combining cavity enhancement and frequency comb spectroscopy.Trace gas spectroscopic detectio... - Quantum-limited Measurement Method for Nanosensors
New fabrication techniques have enabled the development of on-chip mechanical elements whose dimensions are on the nanometre (one millionth mm) scale. Their application, however, has been limited b... - Miniature X-ray source using wiggling electrons
A team at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics of Ludwig Maximilian's University of Munich and Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching has succeeded in reducing X-ray sources of typical... - "On-the-fly" spectroscopy with a diode laser and a frequency comb
MPQ scientists achieve high precision optical broadband spectroscopy by applying frequency comb technique to tunable diode lasers. The research field of optical spectroscopy has already attracted a... - Oscillating Ions imitate optical Laser
For decades there has been interest in phonon lasers that emit quanta of vibrational energy - so called phonons - instead of light. In solids, because of the short wavelength, the implementation of...
