Tao Yu, a postdoc at MPSD now, will work in School of Physics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Wuhan, China) as a Professor of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. He will lead the group for dynamics of quantum materials, focusing on interesting theoretical problems among the magnetism, spintronics, unconventional superconductivity, correlated spin system, and… Continue reading Tao will start new group at Huazhong University

Michael will visit the Pauli Center for Theoretical Studies in Zurich in September and October 2021, including a visit at Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen.

Apply for PhD positions in ultrafast science: 25 PhD projects within IMPRS-UFAST. Deadline: November 15, 2020.

One of the holy-grail questions in condensed matter physics is how superconductivity — the property of many electrons to go into a quantum soup state that can carry electricity without losses — emerges at relatively high temperatures in certain materials, and how these temperatures could be boosted even further. Now a research team at the… Continue reading Cheering up a frustrated quantum system

Gabriel has successfully defended his Phd thesis on April 22, 2020, via Zoom videoconference. Congratulations, Gabriel!

Michael is a co-organizer of a minicolloquium on “Magnetism and Correlations in 2D Materials in and out of Equilibrium” at CMD2020GEFES in Madrid, August 31 – September 4, 2020. Featuring invited talks by Efrén Navarro-Moratalla, James McIver, Dante Kennes, and Ralph Ernstorfer.

The IMPRS-UFAST is looking for bright young minds willing to dive into research on ultrafast dynamics and imaging of matter. Application deadline is December 2nd, 2019. For the Sentef group we are specifically looking for candidates in two areas of research: Cavity-to-Floquet crossover in quantum materials Floquet twistronics in 2D materials If you are interested… Continue reading Call for PhD applications
