Ultracold molecules have a wide range of applications in quantum science and technologies spanning from fundamental physics to quantum computing and quantum chemistry, and this has sparked great interest in laser cooling of molecules. [more]

Nitrogen vacancy (NV) point defects in diamond have emerged as a promising platform for quantum sensing. The electronic spin state of these solid-state qubits can be optically polarised, coherently manipulated with microwave pulses, and read out via their spin-state-dependent photoluminescence. Using this optically detected magnetic resonance method, magnetic signals from a single molecules or spins can be detected [1]. [more]

Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and occasionally synchrotron radiation methods we investigate molecules at surfaces. The experiments along with model calculations reveal molecular spin states and electron transport properties as well as intermolecular interactions. [more]

The interaction of slow ions with condensed matter leads to the emission of electrons with energies typically well below 20eV. [more]

Laboratory-based laser-produced plasma (lpp) soft X-ray sources achieve high brightness and stability in the EUV and XUV range. With emission energies beyond 1.6 keV and stable operating times in the range of hours, they already offer numerous experimental possibilities that are independent and supplemental to investigations at large scale facilities.
