We study quantum states in solid-state materials, with a special focus on magnets and superconductors. We seek to unravel the microscopic origin of their quantum behavior. To this end, we use x-ray and neutron scattering techniques, low-temperature thermodynamic and transport measurements, as well as ab initio calculations of the electronic structure.
Our group is part of the Felix Bloch Institute for Solid-State Physics within the Faculty of Physics and Earth System Sciences at Leipzig University.
For latest news and recent publications, you can follow us on Twitter. Check out our research topics and possible student projects, and of course publications if you prefer the dry academic style. Last but not least, there are a few general educational lectures related to our work and to some of the current topics in quantum physics.
