Pfleiderer Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Chair of Topology of Correlated Systems (E51), led by Prof. Dr. Christian Pfleiderer. Our research is centred on topological and strongly correlated phenomena in quantum materials – from the discovery of magnetic skyrmions and topological band structures to quantum phase transitions and non-Fermi liquid behaviour. We grow ultrapure single crystals of our own design and characterise them with transport, thermodynamic, and spectroscopic techniques under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, and magnetic field. Our chair is hosted in the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE), of which Prof. Pfleiderer serves as executive director, and is part of the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).

Back Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Chair of Experimental Physics of Functional Spin-Systems, led by Prof. Dr. Christian H. Back. Our research focuses on fundamental magnetic properties and magnetisation dynamics in hybrid materials comprising ultrathin magnetic layers. We combine high-resolution magnetic microscopy techniques with microwave excitation and detection to explore magnetisation dynamics, the propagation of spin waves, and the efficiency of charge-to-spin current conversion in a wide range of material systems – including magnetic 2D materials and topological materials. Our work is embedded in both the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE) and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).

Weig Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Chair of Nano and Quantum Sensors, led by Prof. Dr. Eva Maria Weig. Our research focuses on the experimental investigation of nanomechanical systems – freely suspended, top-down fabricated nanostructures that vibrate like miniature guitar strings. These nanostrings, typically 30–50 micrometres long and less than 100 nanometres wide, contain roughly one billion atoms and operate at the boundary between classical and quantum mechanics. Our chair is part of the Center for Quantum Engineering
(ZQE), of which Prof. Weig is a founding director, and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).

Brandt Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Brandt Group at the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE), led by Prof. Dr. Martin S. Brandt. Our research explores the fundamental properties of paramagnetic states in semiconductors for quantum applications. We have pioneered electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) as a tool for detecting and manipulating individual spins in semiconductors, providing a direct electrical readout of spin states. Our group is also affiliated with the Walter Schottky Institut (WSI) and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).
details >Fogh Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Professorship of Quantum Magnetism, led by Prof. Dr. Ellen Fogh. Our research focuses on understanding how magnetic moments interact in quantum materials and what exotic quantum states emerge from these interactions. We use neutron scattering as our primary experimental tool, combined with extreme conditions – high magnetic fields (up to 25.9 T), high pressures, and dilution temperatures – to reveal the collective quantum behaviour of spins in model magnetic compounds. Our group is part of the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE) at TUM.
details >Lienhard Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Interfacing Quantum Systems Laboratory at the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE), led by Dr. Benjamin Lienhard. Our group develops interfaces to superconducting and semiconductor-based quantum systems, with a focus on control, readout, and calibration of quantum processors. We combine quantum engineering with machine learning and classical signal processing to improve the performance and scalability of quantum hardware. Our group is also affiliated with the Walther-Meissner-Institut (WMI) and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).
details >Müller Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Professorship of Quantum Electronics and Computer Engineering at the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE), led by Prof. Dr. Kai Müller. Our group develops the building blocks for photonic quantum technologies – sources of non-classical light, spin-photon interfaces, quantum memories, and single-photon detectors – and integrates them into fully-integrated quantum-photonic circuits. We are also affiliated with the Walter Schottky Institut (WSI) and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).
details >Reiserer Group
Welcome to the research pages of the Chair for Quantum Networks, led by Prof. Dr. Andreas Reiserer. Our goal is to build the hardware for a future quantum internet – a network that distributes quantum entanglement between distant nodes via optical fibres. We focus on erbium dopants in crystalline silicon as quantum network nodes, exploiting their unique coherent optical transitions at telecom wavelength (1.5 µm), which coincides with the minimal-loss window of optical fibres. Our group is part of the Center for Quantum Engineering (ZQE) and the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST).
