Research
LISA+ utilizes advances in patterning, manipulation & analysis on the atomic scale for new developments in the area of
quantum instruments, nano systems, and sensor technology.
In particular, we develop new measurement techniques based on optical or quantum effects (e.g. in superconductivity, ion interferometry, quantum optics, atomic quantum gases, …).
The three major research topics of LISA+ are:
Collective Quantum Phenomena (CQ):

- Areas: solid state, quantum optics/atom physics, astroparticle physics
- Methods: patterning, surface sensitive techniques, quantum optics
- Topics: Hybrid solid surface/cold atom systems, dark matter,
gravitometers, sensors for inertial forces, matter wave holography
Light Harvesting & Nanophotonics (hν):
- Areas: applied physics & physical chemistry
- Methods: nanostructuring, analytics, manipulation, microscopy
