Quantum interference is the reason why we see an interference pattern in Young’s double-slit experiment even when sending a stream of single particles (photons, electrons, neutrons, etc.). It is also closely linked to quantum decoherence, one of the biggest issues currently holding back quantum computers. IPL is investigating Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) processes related to quantum […]

With this collaborative project we plan to proof that non-stick, self-emptying containers can be produced through molding the polymer with a laser-micromachined steel mold. Imparting a Nature-inspired functional microstructure through laser-machining onto metals is a well understood method developed in Prof. Kietzig’s lab. By using a laser-structured metal mold to form plastics, we will imprint […]
