🚀📄 New quantum dot molecule paper out in @PhysRevB! We uncover resonances & antiresonances in phonon-relaxation rates enabling tunable exciton lifetimes for #spinphoton interfaces. Thanks to Michelle, Markus and the QDM team! 🔗 journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1… #QuantumDots

🌟 Congrats to Nil and Hamidreza on their groundbreaking research in hot carrier #quantumwell structures! 🔬☀️ Their work on quantum confinement effects is pushing #solarcell efficiency beyond current limits. Published in Journal of Applied Physics 👏 📖 pubs.aip.org/aip/jap/articl…

What happens when light interacts with an extremely dense 2D electron gas in a #monolayer semiconductor? Intuitively, one would expect an ionized electron-hole plasma. Instead, we observe the emergence of a "monster" exciton made of 20 #quasiparticles! 🔗: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Last week, our PhD student Nick presented his poster “Optical studies of mixed electronic and #excitonic correlated states in 2D #heterostructures” at the 2DMP Mid-Term Colloquium 2025 in Bad Honnef ⚛️✨ #2DMaterials #QuantumPhysics #Research #TUM

Our new paper “Polarons shape the interlayer exciton emission of MoSe₂/WSe₂ heterobilayers” is out in @NatureComms! 🎉 Hot #phonons and #polarons play a key role in shaping #interlayer #exciton emission—beyond the moiré-trapped picture. 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4146…

🚀Congrats to Cem & team on their new @NanoLetters paper: A Defect-Free Vertical-Cavity GaAs-Based Nanowire Laser on Silicon Emitting at the #Telecom O-Band First GaAs-based #nanowire #laser on Si at ~1.3 μm — a big step for next-gen silicon photonics! 🔬💡

🎉 Congrats to Dr. Elena Blundo on her new paper! Her work shows how the apparent color of #hBN flakes on SiO₂/Si substrates can be used to quickly and non-invasively determine thickness. #2Dmaterials Full paper: mdpi.com/2076-3417/15/1… Picture: Christoph Hohmann @MCQST_cluster

🎉 Big congrats to our PhD student Stefan for successfully defending his thesis on “Advancing Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors via Helium Ion Radiation”! A major step forward in quantum tech — well done, Dr. Stefan! 👏⚛️ #PhDDefense #SNSPD

🚨 We have an open Postdoc position in Quantum Optics @ TUM! Join our SNQS group at the Walter Schottky Institute (Prof. J.J. Finley)! 🧠 Solid-state quantum info, sensing, 2D materials, ultrafast optics 🗓 Start: Fall 2025 📩 Apply: jj.finley@tum.de #Postdoc #TUM #QuantumOptics

🚀 Our new paper in APL Quantum is out — and it’s an Editor’s Pick! Congrats to Stefan and #SNSPD team! 🙌 🔗 Link: pubs.aip.org/aip/apq/articl…

Excited to share our new work in #Small on the #vdW epitaxial growth of high-quality 2D h-GaTe on graphene/SiC via #MBE! We highlight the role of interlayer diffusion and use cPCA to map growth regimes. In collab with PDI Berlin & CNR Rome. Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/sm…

Big congrats to Stefan, Fabian and the entire #SNSPD group on their latest paper in @ScienceAdvances ! “Current crowding-free superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors” — a big step forward in the world of single-photon detectors!

Our PhD student Amine gave an exciting talk at the APS March Meeting in Anaheim! 🎤✨ He presented his work on ‚Gate-tunable Bose-Fermi mixture in a strongly correlated moiré bilayer electron system.‘ Great job, Amine! 👏 #APS2025 #MoiréPhysics #QuantumMatter #CondensedMatter

Great talk by our postdoc Alain at the APS March Meeting in Anaheim! 🎤 He presented his work on 'Observation of a many-body excitonic complex in WSe₂ beyond the exciton,' pushing the limits of many-body physics in 2D materials. Well done! 👏 #APS2025 #Excitons #WSe2

🎉 Congratulations to Steffi on her new paper investigating amorphous MiSo thin films and their superconducting properties! #SNSPDs #superconducting #nanowires #publication Check it out: nature.com/articles/s4159…

🎉 Happy 1st birthday to APL Quantum! Honored to serve on the editorial advisory board as we celebrate a remarkable year of quantum science breakthroughs. #APLQuantum #QuantumScience
