Within this research field, top-class scientists engage in research about the interactions of light, spin (magnetism), and diverse forms of matter. The cutting edge research topics are studied across the borders of the traditional disciplines of sciences and engineering introducing new connections between the fields.

For advancing the research topics, the scientists contribute their expertise in quantum optics, applied optics, magnetism, surface physics, molecular and material sciences and benefit from the exchange of ideas. The scientists engaged in karema in this field are from experimental and theoretical physics, as well as physical chemistry. Their manifold projects range from basic research, e.g. Bose Einstein condensates all the way to technology-oriented research, like the development of novel data carriers.

For more detailed information, please have a closer look at the portraits of the scientists engaged in karema (“Individual Research Counselors”, IRCs). Please note: Due to the targeted research matching of karema, you should specifically tailor your research idea to the expertise of karema’s scientists.
