KSQM Fall School - Optics & Condensed Matter Physics
KSQM Fall School 2025
We are excited to invite all KSQM fellows and beyond to this year’s Fall School, dedicated to cutting-edge topics in optics and condensed matter physics. This is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding, connect with fellow researchers, and explore advanced experimental techniques at KIT.
Highlights:
-
Lectures by KIT Professors
Covering key topics in Optics and Superconductivity -
Special Session & Lab Tour
With the Post-Lithium Battery Research Group at KIT -
Postdoc Seminars
A series of in-depth talks by KIT postdoctoral researchers, offering deeper insights into:- Superconducting Circuits
- Carbon Nanotube SQUIDs
- Low-Temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
Whether you're looking to broaden your theoretical foundation or get inspired by hands-on research, the KSQM Fall School offers a rich and stimulating environment for learning and exchange.
