“Quantum Optics and Gravitational Physics” is one of four key research areas at Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH). This thematic focus is the result of proven expertise in laser technology, quantum optics and gravitational physics. The DFG Funding Atlas 2018 ranks Leibniz University Hannover in first place for third-party funding in the fields of quantum optics and atomic, molecular, optical and plasma physics. The research focus on quantum optics and gravitational physics and Leibniz Universität Hannover’s commitment to these topics offer a sustainable and attractive environment for top scientists. In recent years, two new research buildings with internationally unique large-scale experimental equipment have been put into operation on the LUH campus: the Laboratory for Nano and Quantum Engineering LNQE (LUH) and the Hannover Institute of Technology (HITec). The LUH research profile supports close, synergetic partnerships with the local Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI) in Hannover, including the British-German gravitational wave detector GEO600 (near Hannover) and the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH).
