Nanophysics explores structures and phenomena on the nanometer scale, where the laws of classical physics are increasingly supplanted by the principles of quantum mechanics. One exceptionally promising field of research is how light and material interact at this scale. Interactions of this kind allow quantum effects not only to be observed, but also to be manipulated individually and made available for new types of applications. Tonight’s lecture by Professor Andreas Tittl (LMU) provides an introduction to the fascinating world in which quantum physics meets nanophotonics.
This event is part of the Modern physics lecture series – just one of the offerings presented by the Faculty of Physics to mark the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
