At the Institute for Applied Physics research is conducted in the field of modern optics. Novel laser systems and their properties are investigated and the quantum properties of light are used to store and cool atoms. In addition, new quantum encryption methods are explored with the aim of making our computers of the future more secure.
Atomic traffic control
TU researchers have developed and tested a novel technology for even more precise quantum sensors
UNESCO's International Year of Quantum Science and Technology begins with a success for TU researchers at the Institute of Applied Physics: Physical Review Research publishes results of their research on dichroic mirror pulses. These act like velocity-selective traffic controllers for atoms by directing the particles with correct velocity towards detection while letting run troublemakers into the void.
