• Physikalisches Hauptseminar I (winter semester 2023/24):
  In recent years, novel approaches in sensing and imaging have emerged that are pushing the frontiers of what is “measurable” but also change the way how we measure and understand phenomena in natural sciences. This includes quantum sensing where often even single quantum systems (spins, photons) serve as sensors and extends to high precision, potentially ultrafast measurements like frequency combs or atomic clocks. Quantum metrology is even nowadays helping to define the SI units. The seminar aims to give a broad overview of basics as well as applications allowing students to choose from a broad range of topics.
• Photonics I (winter semester 2023/24):
  The course introduces the basic physical concepts, mathematical models and technologies for (linear and nonlinear) spectroscopy with lasers. Part I (winter semester) focuses on the mathematical models for Gaussian beams (derived from Maxwell’s equations), optical resonators, laser fundamentals, nonlinear optics and spectroscopy.
