Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics’ Post

I feel like the past two weeks is somewhat a pre-conclusion period of my PhD: Trying to (very briefly) conclude the past years of research at the Optica Sensing Congress in Toulouse, and finally being able to share our new manuscript on arXiv, thanks to the joint effort of Gesa, Richard and Toeno 🙌 So be welcomed to check out how we combine novel ion implantation tricks, nanoscale gluing and 2D scanning , in the attempt to make scanning NV magnetometry fiber-based: 👇 arxiv.org/abs/2407.15741

Atomic-scale X-ray imaging is important when looking into designing and building more efficient quantum computers for example. That is why, we would like to draw your attention to a paper fresh of the press, where a few hundred gallium atoms inside an otherwise pure silicon crystal could be detected. A great example how light sources work together to gather insights and drive innovation. These measurements serve as benchmark for sensitivity measurements at third-generation storage rings achievable today. The next generation of storage rings, like DESY's future project PETRA IV, the boosted brilliance will enable even greater sensitivity right down to single atoms coming into focus. #photonscience

And the winners of the best poster prize at the ESRF User Meeting 2024 are...   In life sciences, Hendrick BRUNS, from the University of Goettingen   Title : Sarcomere, troponin, and myosin X-ray diffraction signals can be resolved in single cardiomyocytes   Material Science: Jiangtao ZHAO, from ESRF - ID01   Title : Bragg Coherent Modulation Imaging of Highly Strained Nanocrystals: Experiment Demonstration at ESRF-ID01

📍 Our project manager Marta Sans, PhD (ICFO) presented #2DNeuralVision last Tuesday at the #EUproject Session at #EOSAM2024. This major international conference on optics and #photonics is taking place this week in Naples, Italy, organised by EOS - European Optical Society in collaboration with SIOF Ottica. During a special session dedicated to EU-funded projects, Marta gave an overview of 2DNeuralVision, presented our latest developments on carbon #quantum dots, and talked about our collaborations with Graphene Flagship. 👇 Find out more in the article below 👇 #computervision #2dmaterials #horizoneurope #graphene

"LEDs are here to stay, with the great advantage being the ability to manipulate the wavelengths to match the spectral regions most fluorophores absorb at." - Dr. Michael Stanley, Senior Applications Scientist at Chroma Technology. In a detailed interview with CoolLED, Dr. Stanley explains the role of optical filters in fluorescence microscopy and how advancements in LED technology have transformed the field. Learn how matching filters and light sources can significantly enhance imaging performance. Read the full interview for all of Dr. Stanley's insights: https://lnkd.in/dQ42KwG2

📢 Today at the BiOS conference: "Making confocal fluorescence microscopy a tool for every biophysicist" Presenter: Uwe Ortmann January 30, 3:55-4:10 pm Room 202 (Level 2 West) Paper No. 12847-52 Join this presentation and learn how FLIM is streamlined with our new confocal microscope Luminosa.

It was an absolute highlight to provide the theory for this impressive experiment. We used a multi-physics approach to model each step of the experiment from real-time TDDFT to surface hopping and coupled-cluster theory. We extract not just spectral data about geometry changes and electronic character, but also resolve the creation and dephasing of electronic and nuclear quantum beats – the inherent characteristics of coherent superpositions of molecular eigenstates. Work done during my time at Max Planck School of Photonics, Friedrich Schiller University Jena. #chemistry #attosecondscience #physics

Thanks, Julius Friedemann Werner, and all collaborators! This work is a further stepping stone on the road to future clinical implementation. For those interested in extracting the stopping power from prompt gamma timing: New results with experimental data will be presented next September at the European Federation Of Organizations For Medical Physics #ECMP.
