Celebrating the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we are thrilled to partner with Faculty of Physics at the LMU München in co-organizing a captivating series of public talks. Join us on an enlightening journey, exploring the rich history of quantum theory, its foundational postulates, and the exciting frontiers of current research.

Quantum physics in nanophysics

Prof. Andreas Tittl | LMU München

Nanophysics explores structures and phenomena on the nanometer scale, where the laws of classical physics are increasingly replaced by the principles of quantum mechanics. A particularly promising field of research is the interaction of light and matter at this scale. Such interactions make it possible not only to observe quantum effects but also to deliberately manipulate them and harness them for novel applications. This lecture provides an introduction to the fascinating world of the connection between quantum physics and nanophotonics. Using selected examples from current research, it will be shown how light can be concentrated in extremely small objects and linked to quantum effects to enable innovative applications, ranging from the generation of single photons to the development of nanolasers with extraordinary properties.

The event is open to everyone interested in exploring quantum science. The public talk will be held in German. Admission is free.
We look forward to welcoming you to the event!
