This year's Nobel Prize winners for physics and chemistry are researching topics scientists from the PhoenixD Cluster of Excellence at Leibniz Universität Hannover are also working on. In a double lecture, Jannika Lauth and Milutin Kovacev will explain the findings that the Nobel Foundation has honoured this year.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Anne L'Huillier (University of Lund, Sweden), Pierre Agostini (Ohio State University, USA) and Ferenc Krausz (Max Planck Institute/Ludwig Maximilian University, Germany) "for experimental methods for the generation of attosecond light pulses for the study of electron dynamics in matter". Milutin Kovacev, Professor at the Institute of Quantum Optics and member of the PhoenixD research network, has collaborated with Pierre Agostini and Anne L'Huiller. In his lecture "Ultra-short light pulses - How can the shortest moments be captured?", he will explain the research achievements of the three prizewinners in a generally understandable way.
The three scientists Moungi Bawendi (MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA), Louis Brus (Columbia University, USA) and Alexei Ekimov (Nanocrystals Technology Inc., USA) received the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery and development of quantum dots. Jannika Lauth will explain the concept of quantum dots. She is a junior professor at the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry at Leibniz University Hannover and heads her research group at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen.
The event "Nobel Prize Talk on Saturday morning" is organised by the regional working group "Young DPG" of the German Physical Society. You can find further information here.
You can find the directions to room E214 (Großer Physiksaal) in the main building of Leibniz University Hannover (Welfengarten 1) on the map here.
The young DPG and PhoenixD are looking forward to your visit!
