Revealing the secrets of anisotropic nanoalloy synthesis

Apr 6, 2020 | MEANS, MPQ

The synthesis of nanomaterials by chemical routes has long been developed empirically due to the lack of techniques to probe the dynamics of nano-objects in liquid media. In recent years, so-called “in-situ” approaches have emerged on all the techniques...

Spontaneous photon-pair generation from a dielectric nanoantenna

Nov 25, 2019 | DON, MPQ

The optical realization of a quantum computer, secure quantum communications and imaging requires fast and reliable generation of single photons and their quantum superpositions. Future quantum optical sources should be small as they will need to be integrated into...
