Title: Van der Waals magnonic cavities
Superconducting resonators are essential to solid-state quantum technologies, enabling key functions like qubit readout and signal amplification. Coplanar LC resonators, in particular, offer strong qubit-photon coupling due to their low losses and compact size. However, their size cannot be scaled down to the nanoscale, limiting the ability to reach stronger coupling regimes needed for studying new physics and advancing spin qubit applications. Achieving such strong coupling with current superconducting circuits remains nearly out of reach today.
In this talk, I introduce VdW-QED - a radically new platform that leverages magnonic resonators made from van der Waals (vdW) antiferromagnetic insulators for cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) experiments with spin qubits. I will demonstrate our first key achievement: the experimental observation of strong magnon-spin coupling between CrSBr, which serves as the magnonic cavity, and GdW10, which forms the solid-state spin ensemble. By detecting an anticrossing and identifying signatures of dark states, we quantitatively confirm that the coupling is coherent and exhibits well-defined symmetries. These findings open the door to using CrSBr and similar layered materials as magnonic cavities in hybrid quantum systems, offering exciting prospects for both fundamental physics and applied device research.
The talk will be in English.

Titel: In Search of Female Role Models
It is quite common to explain the low percentage of female students in STEM fields by pointing to the lack of female role models. In this workshop, I will show you that female role models have always been there. Although many of them did not have the opportunity to pursue careers in science, they inspired us through their passion for activities that were often considered just hobbies — but were they really just hobbies?
The Workshop will be in English.
Registration starting July 5th: https://eveeno.com/648042691
When: 23 July 2025; 14:15-17:15
Where: D6P03, D-Bau, Auf der Morgenstelle 14
