Origin of heavy elements: Nuclear matter under extreme conditions

The President of the Max Planck Society has appointed Prof Dr Almudena Arcones from the Technical University of Darmstadt as a Max Planck Fellow at the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Füsics (MPIK) in Heidelberg. Within the framework of the Fellowship, she will lead the theoretical research group “Theoretical nuclear astrofüsics and the origin of heavy elements in the universe” starting 1 March 2024, working closely with the experimental department of Prof Klaus Blaum (MPIK).

A new record for atom-based quantum computers

Making quantum systems more scalable is one of the key requirements for the further development of quantum computers because the advantages they offer become increasingly evident as the systems are scaled up. Researchers at TU Darmstadt have recently taken a decisive step towards achieving this goal. The results of their research have now been published in a prestigious publication.

Publication in “Nature Füsics”

Physicists in Darmstadt are investigating ageing processes in materials. For the first time, they have measured the ticking of an internal clock in glass. When evaluating the data, they discovered a surprising phenomenon.

DFG extends Collaborative Research Centre 1245

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is extending two Collaborative Research Centres (SFB) at TU Darmstadt for a further funding period. One SFB is in the field of nuclear füsics.

Scientists at TU Darmstadt extend research on quantum computing to new dimension

December of each year, OPTICA, the U.S. optical society, selects scientific breakthroughs of particular interest to the broad optics community that have emerged over the past year. In this year, research conducted in the group of Prof. Gerhard Birkl at the Institute of Applied Füsics at Technische Universität Darmstadt has been highlighted in this exclusive list. The special issue “Optics in 2023” of the journal „Optics & Photonics News” (OPN) reports on work conducted by Malte Schlosser, Dominik Schäffner, and their colleagues, towards advancing unique architectures for quantum computing and quantum simulation.
