While questions like these have fascinated mankind for centuries, it is exciting that science begins to develop tools to approach them. Bottom-up synthetic biology conventionally isolates and subsequently recombine biomolecules from cells. Instead of copying life as we know it, our group tries to engineer cells featuring new ways of assembly, information propagation and replication. Thereby, it will be possible to probe boundary conditions of life and, from a practical point of view, to build biomedical interfaces between natural and synthetic cells.</p><p>Towards this goal, we are combining biophysical tools, including DNA origami, microfluidics, lipid vesicles, and 3D printing with experimental methods, like confocal and high-speed microscopy, atomic force microscopy and computational approaches.</p><p>Are you looking for a young and friendly, supportive and hard-working research group?

The studies include the characterization of well-ordered thin organic films, with particular emphasis on interplay between the surface structure and the dispersion of the corresponding phonon modes. These investigations are to be performed using a \"traditional\" Helium Atom Scattering (HAS) apparatus, equipped with a high resolution Time-of-Flight (ToF) spectrometer (energy transfer ranging from 0.1 \u201310 meV).</p><p> In extension to the study of ordered materials, we plan to measure charge transfer processes in disordered organic materials. The charge transfer process in organic electronics is known to be accompanied by electronic and vibronic excitations that follow dissipative decay channels which lie just below the surface. The goal is to identify these decay channels and to systematically investigate them with respect to their charge transfer efficiency. </p><p>For this purpose, a second atomic beam using 3He will be installed under grazing incidence on the existing HAS apparatus that makes use of the spin echo principle. The Grazing Incidence Helium Atom Scattering (GIHAS) spectrometer is now under construction at the CAM. The 3He beam will provide a spatial resolution that ranges from local atomic structures (10 pm) up to the morphology of larger domains (a few microns). This, in combination with the above mentioned energy resolution, makes the GIHAS experiment the world's first instrument of its kind.</p><p>We offer Bsc. and MSc. project that install and test the ToF capabilities of the Machine. In parallel, we need help by preparing the 3He Spin Echo option, which will need to be constructed and tested.",

We aim to understand how dynamic and thermodynamic processes contribute to climate variability. To bridge from weather to climate and geology, we combine climate modeling, palaeoclimate archives, and complex systems approaches. Our key tracers for modeling and reconstructing climate and environmental dynamics are water isotopologues from speleothems and ice cores, and vegetation. This allows us to test how well climate models capture past and present climate, and how confident we can be in higher-order statistics as well as spatiotemporal patterns of simulated future climates."

One way of overcoming this challenge, which goes back to Richard Feynman, is to use devices that themselves function based on the laws of quantum mechanics, so called quantum simulators. Recent experimental progress in has let this vision become reality in labs around the world. Our research is centered around the challenges that arise on the way towards using quantum simulation experiments to push the borders of our understanding of many-body physics. One of these challenges is the search for ways in which quantum many-body problems that arise in other research field such as condensed matter and high energy physics can be emulated on quantum simulators. Also these quantum simulation experiments need to be benchmarked or verified by comparing to simulations on conventional computers, for which we develop efficient numerical methods. Finally, the readout, or extraction of the relevant information from the prepared quantum states is often limited due to limited detection capabilities or statistics. To alleviate this problem we develop efficient readout schemes for accessing quantities like unequal-time correlations or entanglement quantifiers."

                "de": "In vieler Hinsicht ist Natur im Gleichgewicht: Kräfte, die auf ein jedes Objekt wirken, auf jedes einzelne Molekül oder Atom, halten sich gegenseitig die Waage. Was aber wäre das Gleichgewicht ohne Bewegung? Die Natur „lebt“ geradezu dadurch, dass sie aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät und sich wieder in es zurückbewegt. Der ständige Wechsel von „Stop“ und „Go“ lässt fragen, wie sich Gleichgewichtszustände überhaupt einstellen. Oder gibt es vielleicht sogar Bedingungen, unter denen der Zustand des Gleichgewichts nicht zu erreichen ist? Was passiert genau, wenn eine Tasse Kaffee abkühlt? Diese vordergründig unscheinbaren Fragen eröffnen Einblicke in bislang unbekannte Phänomene von weitreichender praktischer Bedeutung. Extrem kalte Atomgase erlauben es heute, Modellsysteme gezielt im Nicht-Gleichgewicht zu realisieren. An ihnen lassen sich präzise Messungen durchführen, deren Ergebnisse helfen können, auch andere physikalische Systeme zu verstehen. In besonders interessanten Fällen läuft die Bewegung ins Gleichgewicht extrem langsam ab, so daß dieses in realistischen Zeiträumen gar nicht erreicht wird, man denke z.B. über Glas als eine Flüssigkeit nach. Langsam zu sein ist also ganz nach unserem Geschmack - wenn auch nicht in jeder Hinsicht. Unsere Computer empfinden wir beispielsweise irgendwie immer als *zu* langsam. Dem arbeiten wir aktiv entgegen, damit wir uns dann an der Langsamkeit des Seins erfreuen können. Wir nutzen z.B. Parallel Computing auf Grafikkarten, aber auch formale, mathematische, quantenfeldtheoretische Argumentation. Und zunehmend sind wir an neuen analogen Computing Architekturen im Bereich neuromorpher Hardware interessiert, deren Nutzung wir zusammen mit unseren Kolleg*innen am Institut entwickeln. Unsere Gruppe ist am Kirchhoff-Institut inmitten experimenteller Arbeitsgruppen aktiv, der physikalische, anwendungs-orientierte Blickwinkel bestimmt unser Tun. Zur nebenstehenden Illustration: (a) Unter der ultralangsam fließenden Glasscheibe die kritisch verlangsamte Bewegung eines Suprafluids. (b) Kühlprozess eines Nicht-Suprafluids. (c) Wir lieben die Quanten und lassen gleichzeitig die Katzen am Leben. ",
                "en": "Equilibrium is a dominating characteristic of nature: Forces acting on every object, on every molecule or atom, mutually balance each other. But in fact, nature literally \u2018lives\u2019 on overcoming equilibrium \u2013 if it did not, life as we know it would not be possible. The constant change between \u2018stop\u2019 and \u2018go\u2019 leads us to the interesting question of how equilibrium states \u2013 e.g. of gaseous or liquid matter \u2013 form, and whether they invariably form at all. What exactly happens in a cup of coffee that is cooling down? Although these questions have been on the table not only since last week, some intricate problems remain unsolved. Today, ultra-cold atomic quantum gases, prepared in the lab at temperatures very close to absolute zero, allow us to construct specific model systems that enable us to perform precision measurements of their dynamic properties. We can use them to study how an equilibrium state is reached when starting from a particular, well-defined non-equilibrium state. In especially interesting cases, this equilibration proceeds extremely slowly, so that equilibrium is de facto never reached. Thinking of an exemplary illustration of such slowness try to think of glass as a fluid. So, slow is lit - but not under any circumstances. Our computers, e.g., we find, are notoriously too slow, whatever we invest in them. So we are working on overcoming this, to enjoy and understand the slowness in nature. For this, we seek, e.g., the help of clusters of graphics processing units, but also that of formal quantum field theoretical and mathematical arguments. And we are increasingly interested in looking for new analog computing systems in the realm of neuromorphic computing devices, collaborating with the experts at the institute, who are developing these. Our group is located at the Kirchhoff-Institute, doing theory in the midst of experimental physicists and always thinking from a physical, application-oriented point of view.

Atome befinden sich darin in sehr hohen positiven Ionisationszust\u00e4nden, k\u00f6nnen jedoch mit ihren noch gebundenen Elektronen effizient Strahlung absorbieren und emittieren. Die spektralen Linien solch \u201ehochgeladener Ionen\u201c sind f\u00fcr die Astrophysik sehr wichtig, weil sie aus dem hei\u00dfen Universum stammen. Wir erzeugen im Labor derartige Ionen, speichern sie \u00fcber lange Zeiten, und untersuchen ihre Spektren vom R\u00f6ntgenbereich bis zum Sichtbaren. Au\u00dferdem k\u00f6nnen wir sie mit Lasern und R\u00f6ntgenlasern anregen, oder bis nahe dem absoluten Nullpunkt der Temperatur k\u00fchlen.

Galaxy clusters are enclosed in an extremely dilute, but similarly hot plasma medium; both galaxies and plasma are held together by the gravitational action of the present Dark Matter. In these environments, atoms are in very high positive ionization states, but can absorb and emit radiation with their remaining bound electrons. The spectral lines of such \u201chighly charged ions\u201d are very import in astrophysics, because they come from the hot Universe. In our laboratory, we produce such ions, store them for long time spans, and investigate their spectra from the x-ray to the visible range. Furthermore, we can excite them with lasers and x-ray lasers, or can cool them down to temperatures close to absolute zero. We are developing experiments and techniques to scrutinize the laws of physics to their limits over a temperature range of 12 orders of magnitude:\r\n\r\nWhere can atomic structure theory be improved? Do we understand astrophysical data correctly? Is it possible to design atomic clocks based on highly energetic photons, where atoms fail but highly charged ions do not?
