The international forum “Central European Workshop on Quantum Optics” (CEWQO) provides researchers with a platform to exchange ideas on current developments in quantum optics and quantum communication during its annual conferences.
The 30th edition took place July 20–24 in Erlangen, jointly hosted by @FAU and MPL.

Molecules on a surface reach the ultimate quantum limit
Check out the latest #publication “Nano–electron volt Fourier-limited transition of a single surface-adsorbed molecule” in “Science” by the #NanoOptics Division of Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar.
In the video, Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar, Dr. Masoud Mirzaei, and Dr. Alexey Shkarin (in order of appearance) explain the #research behind the paper.

#MayThe4thBeWithYou – Happy #StarWarsDay!
While lightsabers remain firmly rooted in the realm of science fiction, MPL’s scientists are researching light and its interaction with matter. In this context, light serves as both a tool and a subject of #research. Our basic research ranges from individual photons over application and development of super-resolution microscopes to experiments involving high-intensity #laser pulses.
May the (laser) force be with you!

MPL celebrates today's World Quantum Day
At MPL, ~300 scientists from 50+ countries explore the interaction between light and matter – including the science of #quantumoptics and #quantumtechnologies
This year, we have extra reason to celebrate: our founding director, Prof. Gerd Leuchs, is celebrating his 75th (+1) birthday! We honor his extraordinary contributions with an international symposium on June 25–26

Dr. Mariia Matiushechkina is a postdoctoral researcher in the “Quantum Control” group.
Her research runs at the border of the classical and quantum worlds. She investigates micro-mechanical systems that are able to detect very small light pressure and to reveal quantum-mechanical uncertainties. After investigating plenty micro- and nano-structures I had a chance to improve my knowledge of metamaterials. She has designed a highly reflective metastructure that exhibits low mechanical noise for the future implementation in gravitational-wave detectors.

Prof. Dr. Michèle Heurs is a professor of experimental physics at @unihannover and leads the “Quantum Control” group.
She works in the field of quantum optics, in particular in non-classical laser interferometry, quantum metrology, and quantum opto-mechanics. Her group works on making (laser) light that is better than nature would like you to be able to have. It’s called „squeezed light“, and the group uses it for precision measurements. They exploit the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to reduce the noise in the measurement quantity they’re interested in, at the cost of increasing the noise in another (uninteresting one). This allows them to increase the precision of measurements to below the quantum level.
Examples of such sensitive measurements are gravitational-wave detection, where quantum noise already limits the measurement sensitivity over much of the detection band, but also applications in ultra-high precision spectroscopy, and quantum information, amongst others.

Broadening #Quantum Education to New Audiences 🌟 🚀 Turning quantum dreams into reality: it seems I built a quantum telecom training platform for the masses FROM SCRATCH ! —FPGA modules, Python GUIs, SPDC processes, laser alignment, & quantum optics techniques. From NAND gates to quantum crypto, it’s a thrilling (and slightly mad) maker for life adventure! Still plenty of things to fine-tune, but hey, the essentials are covered—the entangled photon source and detection are up and running like a charm.
