Our article An Image-Based Prior Knowledge-Free Approach for a Multi-Material Decomposition in Photon-Counting Computed Tomography has been published in MDPI Diagnostics:  https://doi.org/10.3390/diagnostics14121262 Abstract:  Photon-counting CT systems generally allow for acquiring multipl...

Imagine you have an exciting new research question in mind, but there is no fitting equipment to build the setup. So why not build it yourself? This question arose to Stefan Richter, Sebastian Karl and Verena Gabriele Leopold. Their goal: measuring the diameter of stars. Read more in SAOT's Resea...

Ipek has been awarded with the Ohm-Preis (award for the best theses of the academic year by the the Department of Physics at FAU for the promotion of young scientists) for her Master Thesis on Multi-Path and Multi-Particle Interference to test Hyper-Complex Quantum Mechanics. During the academic gra...

Our Article Photon counting intensity interferometry in the blue at a 0.5 m telescope has been published in RAS Techniques and Instruments: https://doi.org/10.1093/rasti/rzae002 Abstract Intensity interferometry is a re-emerging interferometry tool that alleviates some of the challenges of ...

Three of our experimental projects are now open for applications for Bachelor and Master theses. Check out our new thesis offers!

Today, Stefan successfully defended his PhD thesis with the title Spatio-temporal photon correlations: From stars to atoms. After a bit of bureaucracy, he may call himself Dr. Richter.

On Wednesday our group went to the very famous Bergkirchweih in Erlangen. Similar to the Octoberfest in Munich, Erlangen celebrates the beer culture for 12 days. We enjoyed a few beers at our favourite place close to Steinbach-Bräu that evening.

In the recently published book Photonic Quantum Technologies: Science and Applications, a team of distinguished scientists from different disciplines deliver an authoritative, one-stop overview of up-to-date research on various quantum systems. Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler (JGU Mainz collaborator) and...

Pioneering experiment paves way to new imaging method for single molecules An international research team including the QOQI team has succeeded for the first time in using X-rays for an imaging technique that exploits a special quantum property of light. As the researchers write in the journal Phys...

The "Nürnberger Nachrichten" interviewed Joachim von Zanthier regarding his PhD supervisor, Alain Aspect, who got the Nobel Price in Physics 2022 "for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science". From his time as a P...
