There’s been tremendous progress in theory and experiment of quantum networks as a means of distributing quantum information over long distances. This talk will focus on one approach, based on quantum memories encoded in spins and coupled to photons via color centers in diamond. From large datasets of such color centers -- silicon vacancy and tin-vacancy defects in particular -- it is clear that the inhomogeneous distribution of optical transitions can be reliably kept below ~ 10 GHz, and that within this distribution there is no significant correlation with spin coherence properties. This invites protocols tailored to take advantage of this spectral distribution for wavelength division multiplexed addressing. To this end, we will discuss a new scheme for optical entanglement distribution in quantum networks based on a near-deterministic entangled photon pair source. By combining heralded photonic Bell pair generation with spectral mode conversion to interface with quantum memories, the scheme eliminates switching losses due to multiplexing. We analyze this approach for the particularly challenging problem of long-baseline entanglement distribution via satellites and ground-based memories, where it unlocks additional advantages: (i) the substantially higher atmospheric transmission η of down-links vs. uplinks with realistic adaptive optics, and (ii) photon loss occurring before interaction with the quantum memory – i.e., Alice and Bob receiving rather than transmitting – reduces memory requirements by O(η).

Displaying a poster at an academic conference is an important and effective way for junior researchers to present their work in progress to the international scientific community. As such, the poster presentation is not only a good alternative to a classic conference talk, but also offers an almost ideal opportunity to network with colleagues working in a similar field. Yet, many posters are inadequately written and/or designed and fail to attract visitors, and poster presenters, thus, often miss their chance to connect with their fellow researchers when discussing their posters.

As a premiere, we cordially invite the PhD students of Fraunhofer IMWS and MPI of Microstructure Physics to a get together. We want to create an opportunity to identify common research topics, strengthen the professional exchange and crossover networking between the PhD students of the institutes and last but not least provide an opportunity to share common challenges and experiences during the dissertation phase. We would be pleased if as many PhD students from both institutes as possible would take advantage of this opportunity. Please register by October 1, 2023. It is also possible to join the event after 5 pm, but in this case registration is also necessary because we will serve pizza and drinks.We look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with you!

Careers in academia are often challenging, because only a minority of people gets a permanent position. In this workshop we first talk about how to make it for a permanent position in academia. After that you will learn how to find career paths outside of academia. The workshop is focussed on the German labour market, but includes some aspects of careers in Austria, Switzerland, UK and US. Furthermore, strategies for the non-academic market can be used in many countries. [more]

Der Einsatz von physikalischen Sensoren zur kabellosen Messung von Magnetfeldern

Welche Struktur hat das Magnetfeld um Toroidspulen? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, zeigen die Schülerinnen und Schüler ihr 3D-gedrucktes 1:100 Modell des ATLAS-Detektors am CERN. Die X-, Y- und Z-Komponenten des Feldes werden mit einem drei-achsigen Sensor erfast und über Bluetooth auf einen Rechner übertragen. Langzeitmessungen des Erdmagnetfeldes sind geplant, um die Sonnenaktivität zu untersuchen. Weltraumwetter und magnetische Stürme können die Bordelektronik in Flugzeugen und die Übertragung von Radiowellen beeinflussen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird das Prinzip der Ortung einer Radiowellenquelle mithilfe einer Richtantenne und einem SDR-Dongle (Software Defined Radio) demonstriert. [more]
