Closing Event of the Quantum Year 2025 in Münster

On November 15, AMO participated in the festive closing event of the Quantum Year in Münster, held under the patronage of the German Physical Society (DPG) to mark the 100th anniversary of quantum physics. Our projects QSPEC and ATIQ, funded by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space, were represented at the AMO booth […]

Graphene Heaters for Tunable Mach–Zehnder Interferometers in Silicon Photonics at the C-Band Wavelength

Congratulations to Jens Samland and the entire team on our latest publication in ACS Applied Optical Materials! 🔍 This work explores graphene micro heaters for thermally tunable MZIs on a silicon-on-insulator platform—pushing the boundaries of C-band photonic switching. 📌 Key Results: ▪️Two heater designs with varying geometries ▪️Achieved Pπτ = 272 mW·μs and 28 dB […]

Against food frauds with quantum sensor-technology

Can quantum mechanics be used to the benefit of consumers in supermarkets and restaurants? AMO GmbH and partners are setting out to demonstrate this in the BMBF-funded project “QSPEC – Quantum sensor for improved detection of authenticity and ingredients of food products”.
