Our investigations on nanoparticles have been discussed in a recent material by Polish Press Agency (PAP). Will the results of HEIMaT be used to miniaturize optical devices? Can they be exploited to improve quantum calculations? What sort of opportunities is provided to students involved in the project? Please have a look and find out.:

Our team kindly thank Prof. Sebastian Maćkowski and Dr. Dawid Piątkowski for allowing us and the reporters of PAP in the Spectroscopy of Nanostructures Laboratory.

In November new members of our team have been recruited. Andrzej is now responsible for the numerical aspects of our project, mainly related to electromagnetic simulations for the purpose of nanostructure engineering. In parallel, Miriam will focus on calculations of molecular transition rates beyond electric dipolar approximation.

HEIMaT officially started at the beginning of October 2016 and will be executed within the two following years. It is both a continuation of a long and fruitful collaboration between the Polish and German partners, and a starting point towards new research directions. The project involves experts in quantum chemistry, nanophotonics and molecular physics. First results will soon be available: stay tuned.
