From musician to professor of quantum physics

Peter Krogstrup Jeppesen has had a meteoric career in a complex area of research and after only a relatively short period of time in the world of physics, and he can now call himself a professor of quantum physics.

Eugene Polzik receives ERC Advanced Grant for the second time, this time for 16.2 million DKK

Since the ERC Advanced Grant was established ten years ago in 2008, 50 of these special grants have been awarded to Danish researchers. Eugene Polzik is the first researcher from Denmark who has been awarded this grant…

Smart atomic cloud solves Heisenberg's observation problem

One of the most fundamental principles of physics, "Quantum Back Action", has been challenged by researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute, which has used laser light to link a vibrating membrane with cesium atoms.

Iron secrets behind superconductors unlocked

Due to magnetism iron should - theoretically - be a poor superconductor. Nevertheless certain ironbased materials possess fine superconducting properties. Why? Because the five unbound electrons found in iron...
