In our Lab for Emergent Phenomena we focus on one of the central paradigms in modern science: The physics of collective behaviour and organising principles. We develop theoretical concepts and tools to enhance our understanding of emergent phenomena in quantum science of light and matter, soft-matter physics, and cosmology.
In the Soft Matter Theory Group a lot of theses have been completed and defended this spring.
Lars Radtke studied Atmospheric Rivers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in his Master thesis. Atmospheric Rivers play a crucial role in the global distribution and transportation of ...
How do you measure the remaining charge of a battery with non-invasive purely mechanical methods? What is the best way to stabilize beer foam? How can you actually build a Maxwell’s Demon in a two-dimensional macroscopic system? What are the analogs of the essential components of a laser in a water ...
Before the end of last year Jonas Buba and Mishael Derla successfully finished their master theses.
Jonas Buba developed a classical density functional theory for active particles. With this method he studied the collision of hard active particles, which is important to understand the phenomena o...
In the birth year of quantum mechanics, 1925, the physicist Lucy Mensing travels from the physics Christmas party in Göttingen into the future. There, she hopes to discover how the mysterious quanta have changed the world. But her journey through time to Erlangen creates an increasingly large and th...
Congratulations to Dr Jan Alexander Koziol from LEP! He defended very successfully his doctoral thesis entitled „Quantum lattice models with long-range interactions - quantum phase transitions and crystalline ground states“.
Jan Alexander Koziol focuses in his thesis on quantum phase transitions ...
