"The central topic of my research group is the quantum theory of condensed matter systems.
On the one hand, we are concerned with solid-state systems in which strong correlations prevail, so that metals become Mott insulators. Their magnetic properties and elementary excitations, as measured by inelastic scattering methods, interest us. Recently, we have also focused on the topological properties of magnetic excitations that lead to edge modes and are important for magnonics.
On the other hand, physics far from normal equilibrium is fascinating: can open quantum systems be brought into special quantum states when driven by laser pulses on the one hand and relax in contact with large reservoirs on the other hand?
A particularly exciting subfield of this is quantum information processing, with the questions of whether spins can be used as quantum bits or how to optimize quantum gates for switching quantum bits as much as possible so that they are robust against external perturbations. The latter has close links to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron spin resonance (ESR)."

Location & approach

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.

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

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".
