Financial support and collaboration partners:
The group is directly funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) via its elite Emmy Noether Program (grant no. HU-1598).
The Department of Physics at University of Konstanz is host to the Tera group. We have close scientific collaborations with the Chair of Modern Optics and Quantum Electronics of Alfred Leitenstorfer who also grants us access to a unique array of ultrabroadband THz laboratories and provides us with the necessary infrastructure. Further topical collaborations with the groups of Rudolf Bratschitsch, Thomas Dekorsy, and Jure Demsar are under way.
The Center for Applied Photonics (CAP) is an interdisciplinary research network at the University of Konstanz making the link between basic science in academia and applications of novel photonics in industry. Our group is participating with project CAP 15.
Within the collaborative research center SFB767 (project B5), we explore a novel ultrastrong and ultrafast limit of cavity quantum electrodynamics.
The studies on ultrafast phase transitions of vanadium dioxide have been conducted together with the group of Richard H. Haglund, Jr. Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, USA.
Our first demonstration of coherent THz control of dark excitons is a joint effort with the group of Martin Wolf at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany.
Microscopic simulations of THz exciton dynamics have been performed by the groups of Stephan W. Koch and Mackillo Kira at University of Marburg, Germany.
Our latest success on sub-cycle switch-on of ultrastrong light-matter coupling is the result of an ongoing collaboration with the groups of Alessandro Tredicucci, NEST CNR-INFM and Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa, and Giorgio Biasiol and Lucia Sorba at Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa and Laboratorio Nazionale TASC CNR-INFM, Trieste, Italy.
Theory support on intersubband cavity polaritons has come from Simone De Liberato and Cristiano Ciuti at CNRS and University Paris Diderot-Paris 7, France.
