Research at the Institute of Quantum Optics focuses on highly controlled interaction of light and matter. Typical topics are the physics of ultracold quantum gases, quantum logic spectroscopy based on cooling and trapping of ions dealing with fundamental principles of physics, the physics of ultrashort laser pulses and the control of plasmas in the sub-femto region and applications of nonlinear optics in medical therapy and diagnostics. The institute also provides central parts of the education within the Bachelor and Master courses in physics and related topics.

New Atomic Force Microscope

The new atomic force microscope in the LNQE research building

The clean room of the LNQE research building now has a new atomic force microscope

Funded by the Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers, a new atomic force microscope is now available to the LNQE working groups in the clean room of the LNQE research building. The new device has been successfully applied for at QuantumFrontiers by Dr. Michael Zopf and Prof. Dr. Andreas Schell from the Institute of Solid State Physics. Congratulations!

The new Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a Nanosurf CoreAFM, an easy-to-use instrument for research with many different measurement modes. If you need it, please contact LNQE Technology.
