It's summer time!
Dear <<First Name>> <<Last Name>>!
We are back from the future with a brand new Quantenkoffer, a scientific publication featuring the quTAG and a job opening for a project that has recently started.
The first Quantenkoffer has been delivered!
We have put a lot of effort into our newest education product - the Quantenkoffer. We are proud to report that a couple of weeks ago, the first one has been officially handed over to our customers, Spohn-Gymnasium and Albert-Einstein-Gymnasium in Ravensburg, Germany. We are confident that this device allows everyone (and their uncle) to get a rather playful, hands-on approach to quantum physics. While it contains a lot of state-of-the-art lab equipment, its main mission is being a teaching resource, whether for schools, universities or the general public. Learn more on its own website!
quTAG is "talking" to satellites
Schematic of the experiment (L. Calderaro et al.)
In April, a paper was published on arXiv with the title "Towards Quantum Communication from Global Navigation Satellite System". The researchers (ehem... customers) used our quTAG to measure single photons retroreflected on Glonass satellites. Find the paper here!
qutools is hiring!
Recently, a new EU project funded within Horizon2020 has started and we are a part of it!
In order to contribute to LIMQUET ("Light-Matter Interfaces for Quantum Enhanced Technology") we are looking for a highly motivated PhD student. The candidate must be in their first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research career and not yet have been awarded a doctoral degree and must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in Germany for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the reference date.
Are you interested or do you know someone? Click here for more information or contact us directly!
"Flux capacitor, huh"?
Schematic of the flux compensator (C. Müller et. al.), similar to the one in the movie.Those of us old enough to have had a "Back to the future" poster in their bedroom will remember the statement from Dr. Emmett Brown: "This is what makes time travel possible — the flux capacitor."
Recently, scientists from Australia and Switzerland have demonstrated a superconducting flux capacitor that breaks time-reversal symmetry. Sadly it does not immediately facilitate time travel. This might not be so unfortunate after all, if we remember the main messages of the movie: While the DeLorian is one the coolest cars ever, time travel does feature somewhat tricky implications.
Thank you for staying with us! See you next month!
Cheerio,
Frank from qutools!
