Quantum Material Control

MPSD Director Philip Moll has been elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) for his achievements in the field of microstructured quantum matter. more

The renewed funding comes from Columbia University, the Flatiron Institute, the MPSD and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany. The New York Center will also expand to include Cornell University as a new partner institution. more

Researchers at the MPSD and Brookhaven National Laboratory used two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS) in a non-collinear geometry for the first time to isolate specific terahertz nonlinearities in the cuprate superconductor La_1.83Sr_0.17CuO₄ by their emission direction. Their work has been published in Nature Physics. more

With the ERC Starting Grant, Chunyu Guo will investigate the novel effects of electronic correlations in the recently discovered AV₃Sb₅ family of Kagome superconductors using a high-precision framework that isolates the samples from external influences. more

George Trenins, a postdoctoral researcher in the Lise Meitner research group Simulations from Ab Initio Approaches: Structure and Dynamics from Quantum Mechanics, has been selected for a Humboldt Research Fellowship. more
