Acoustically propelled microparticles: From fundamentals to applications

Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, it takes just over 20 minutes to get to Dortmund Central Station by AirportExpress and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Portrait of Benedikt Fauseweh

Lecture in the series "Brötchen und Borussia" by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Benedikt Fauseweh, Department of Physics, TU Dortmund University.

In this lecture, we will delve into the fascinating world of quantum computers. A topic that lies at the interface between modern physics and computer science. First, we will look at how modern classical computers work and why their rapid development forms the basis of our digital society.

Then we want to understand the fundamental properties of quantum physics: 1) particles suddenly behave like waves, 2) energy and momentum only exist in small portions: the quanta, and 3) Einstein's "spooky action at a distance" connects particles even over large distances.

In the quantum computer, we are now using precisely these properties to build better computers. But what does "better" mean? And how exactly do these computers work? And will I have to buy a quantum computer in the near future?
