Solid State Quantum Emitters – Technology & Applications
Learnweb link: https://sso.uni-muenster.de/LearnWeb/learnweb2/course/view.php?id=92015
Lecturers: Dr. Matthias Weiß, Prof. Dr. Hubert Krenner, Prof. Dr. Tobias Heindel
Overview:
This lecture focuses on the practical application of quantum emitters in emerging quantum technologies. It addresses state-of-the-art approaches for the integration of semiconductor quantum dots and other emitter platforms into photonic devices and their use in scalable architectures for applications of quantum technology. Key topics include device concepts and fabrication of quantum light sources for single- and entangled photon generation, on-chip photonic integration strategies, as well as challenges towards the realization of full-fledged quantum communication and computing platforms. Students will gain an in-depth understanding of the transition of solid-state emitters from foundational laboratory experiments to real-world applications of quantum technologies.
This class builds on the course Quantum Optics with solid-state Quantum Emitters of Wintersemester 2025/26. Key elements will be repeated in this course so students who have not attended the course in the wintersemester are prepared for the new topics covered here.

Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Hubert Krenner, Dr. Emeline Nysten, Dr. Matthias Weiß
Overview:
This class is designed as a revision class of the basic concepts of semiconductors and semiconductor devices. It is highly recommended to students who want to refresh their knowledge on semiconductors and semiconductor physics.
Topics discussed are very helpful when conducting thesis project in experimental (solid-state) physics.
The course is designed for advanced Bachelor students after completing the "Physik der kondensierten Materie" (Condensed Matter Physics) and students starting their Master studies.
The class is formally part of Master Physics / Master Physik program within the Elective Studies in Physics (Physikalische Wahlstudien) module. Students enrolled in the Bachelor program received a certificate which can be used to get the course credited in the Master.
