Schröter Lab for Interfacial Quantum Matter
Our group explores interfacial quantum matter, systems where the junction between distinct materials gives rise to entirely new quantum phenomena. At these interfaces, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts, with emergent states that defy classical understanding. A particular focus lies on chiral quantum materials, where chirality emerges at interfaces or arises from inherently chiral bulk, leading to unique effects such as chiral interface states that could enable faster, more energy efficient and robust information technologies. By combining advanced micro and nanoscale spectroscopy with the synthesis of tailored materials in house and through collaborations in Germany and abroad, we aim to reveal how interfacial symmetry, chirality, topology and electronic interactions create new forms of quantum matter.
Our group is growing— join us in shaping the interfacial quantum matter of the future!
