In the current competition for the excellence clusters within the framework of the excellence strategy of the German federal and state governments, 88 projects have been approved for full application - two of them under the lead management of the Leibniz Universität Hannover and two other applications submitted. For all four research projects, members of the LNQE are represented as leading scientists:
QuantumFrontiers
Light and matter at the quantum frontier: The scientists of the research network are working on new measuring technologies at the nano-level. Basic physical units such as mass, length, and time should become more precise on this extremely small scale. The effects of quantum mechanics are used specifically to improve measurement accuracy.
Participants from LNQE:
- Prof. Dr. Boris Chichkov, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
- Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Ertmer, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
- Prof. Dr. Rolf Haug, Institute for Solid State Physics
- Apl. Prof. Dr. Carsten Klempt, Institute of Quantum Optics
- Prof. Dr. Christian Ospelkaus, Institute of Quantum Optics
- Prof. Dr. Silke Ospelkaus, Institute of Quantum Optics
- Prof. Dr. Ernst Rasel, Institute of Quantum Optics
PhoenixD
Precision optical equipment quickly and cost-effectively from additive manufacturing such as 3D printing are the goal. An interdisciplinary team of researchers works together on the simulation, fabrication and application of optical systems. So far, optical lenses made of glass and the surrounding housing fabricated in several steps - often by hand. The specialists of the different disciplines work in the research network on a digitized manufacturing system that can produce individualized products.
Participants from LNQE:
- Prof. Dr. Peter Behrens, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry
- Prof. Dr. Nadja Bigall, Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry
- Prof. Dr. Boris Chichkov, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
- Prof. Dr. Detlev Ristau, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
REBIRTHT4S
Within the framework of the new application for the research association for regenerative sciences, medicine and technology REBIRTHT4S, the MHH researchers together with the Leibniz Universität Hannover intend to apply a broad spectrum of therapeutic concepts and platform technologies to investigate the origin and development of common diseases of blood, liver, lung and heart to understand.
Participants from LNQE:
- Prof. Dr. Boris Chichkov, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
- Prof. Dr. Peter Behrens, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry
- Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Ertmer, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
- Prof. Dr. Andreas Kirschning, Institute of Organic Chemistry
Hearing4all
Based on the results of the former cluster of excellence, the Oldenburgers have developed the proposal together with hearing researchers from Hannover. Research is being done on the individual treatment of hearing disorders. In the future, the hearing researchers want to map the development chain from basic research to hearing technology on the one hand and the degree of severity of the deafness on the other hand.
Participants from LNQE:
- Prof. Dr. Peter Behrens, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry
- Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Ertmer, Institute of Quantum Optics and Laserzentrum Hannover e. V.
