Media & Outreach

Talks, videos and articles about our research — from colloquium lectures to popular-science features.

Colloquium Talk — Quantum Coherent Spin Control

An invited colloquium talk on combining electron spin resonance with scanning tunneling microscopy for coherent control and interrogation of spins on surfaces: the principles of the technique, its applications at the nanoscale, and its contributions to quantum science.

Oberflächliche Quantenkontrolle — Vakuum in Forschung und Praxis (2022)

Oberflächliche Quantenkontrolle — Vakuum in Forschung und Praxis (2022)

A German-language feature article explaining the resonant excitation of single atomic spins in the scanning tunneling microscope, bridging advanced experimental physics and its broader scientific context.

Young Scientist of the Year — Featured Video

The "Nachwuchswissenschaftler des Jahres" award of the German Association of University Professors and Lecturers (Deutscher Hochschulverband), recognizing early-career researchers in solid-state and quantum physics.

World's First MRI of a Single Atom — Seeker Feature

A 2019 milestone achieved with IBM Research and the Center for Quantum Nanoscience: using a scanning tunneling microscope to map the magnetic field of individual atoms with sub-ångström resolution — over a hundred times finer than traditional MRI.

How to Move an Atom

An outreach video demonstrating how the scanning tunneling microscope can manipulate individual atoms to build custom quantum systems.

Detecting Single Atom Nuclear Spins

Explaining hyperfine interactions and the techniques used to resolve both electron and nuclear spins of individual atoms, connecting to the single-atom MRI work.
