Whatever you celebrate at this time of year: the campus is about to slow down, PETRA III will hibernate a little bit and we look forward to the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025! The visualization though beautiful, is kind of complicated: A research group stored X-ray flashes, working on a way to develop quantum memory. The interference pattern displays single photon counts, visualized on a logarithmic scale from dark to bright colors.

Spectroscopy expert Felix Allum from Stanford University will use DESY’s free-electron laser FLASH for time-resolved X-ray spectroscopic investigations of the dynamics of organic photochemical reactions with potential synthetic applications. He comes to Hamburg through a Humboldt Research Fellowship, a funding programme offered by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation for international researchers to conduct long-term research projects in Germany. Welcome to Hamburg and to the FLASH team! More info: https://lnkd.in/gAitE3n6

The Industry Sattelite Meeting at the Photon Science Users Meeting is on “Analyzing Power Semiconductors at Synchrotrons” and will focus on the close collaboration between research and industry regarding the characterization of power semiconductors. Participants will learn about the latest scientific developments and discuss with leading experts from industry and science how modern research infrastructures can continue to support the semiconductor industry in the future.

The Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld is an exciting place: here, excellent science meets a top notch education in STEM fields, living quarters and - last but not least - innovation with impact. The light sources European XFEL and DESY's FLASH and PETRA III, provide inside into matter down to the atomic level. The Science City is the host not only host to an interdisciplinary scientific ecosystem of different institutes and several research partners, for example the EMBL and Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon and of course the University of Hamburg are on site, but to a vibrant innovation ecosytsem as well. The Start-Up Labs Hamburg provides much needed office and lab space to start-ups and the DESY Start-up Office offers consultancy and a strong network to deeptech start-ups.

An international team lead by Lukas Bruder at the Universität Freiburg succeeded in controlling quantum states in a new energy range. At the free-electron laser, FERMI, they produced laser radiation in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range with a wavelength of less than 100 nanometres. This is necessary to manipulate the electronic states in helium atoms, for example. This methods opens up possibilities of even controlling chemical reactions with atomic precision. Tim Laarmann, co-author of the study and group leader at DESY of the Femtochemistry and Cluster Physics Group points to the properties of seeded free-electron lasers, which make these experiments possible with their coherence properties of the ultra-short light pulses.

Britta Redlich will start as Photon Science Director at DESY as of January 1st 2025. At DESY she is looking forward to promote the continuous development of DESY’s light sources. “I am convinced that DESY´s Photon Science research field will develop rapidly with the constantly advancing sources such as PETRA III, FLASH and the European XFEL,” she says. The 4D X-ray microscope PETRA IV will play a key role in this. “It will make completely new insights into matter possible – a dream come true for every scientist.” Previously to joining DESY, Britta was Director of the FELIX free-electron laser and the HFML high-field magnetic laboratory at Radboud University in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The Professor of experimental physics was previously Director of the FELIX free-electron laser and the HFML high-field magnetic laboratory at Radboud University in Nijmegen (Netherlands). Let's give Britta a warm welcome (despite the uncomfortable Hamburg winter weather). More info: https://lnkd.in/eCTcU9Tk

Philipp Neumann started this year at DESY as Lead Scientist, his work focuses on high performance computing for molecular dynamics simulations, multiscale simulations in fluid dynamics and machine learning. Take a breath and give him a minute to explain that by using different cars you see on the road each day (in German). --- Philipp Neumann ist seit Frühsommer diesen Jahres leitender Wissenschaftler bei DESY. In seiner Forschung beschäftigt er sich unter anderem mit High Performance Computing für Molekulardynamik-Simulationen, Mehrskalensimulationen in der Fluiddynamik und maschinellem Lernen. Gebt ihm eine Minute, um dies - anhand von Fahrzeugen die ihr täglich auf der Straße sieht - zu erklären.
