Optimal Control of Quantum Information Tasks in Open Quantum Systems
(2020-07-30)
Every quantum system inevitably interacts with its environment. This is a fundamental requirement that allows us to control, measure and, in general, interact with quantum systems. In that respect, a quantum system's openness can be interpreted as prerequisite that enables quantum technologies in the first place. The latter are built to harness the intrinsic quantum mechanical behavior of quantum devices in order to build new, powerful technologies. However, a quantum system's openness also causes it to interact ...

High temperature-stable InGaAs QDs for the monolithic integration in external-cavity surface-emitting lasers
(2021)
Optically pumped vertical external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs), also called semiconductor disk lasers (SDLs), benefit from the flexibility and versatility of the semiconductor material. With a simple cavity layout, fundamental transverse mode operation with a circular output beam and high beam quality is possible. They have excellent heat-sink properties and only require inexpensive multimode diode lasers for pumping. The complete VECSEL structure is only a few micrometers thick which leads to a strong ...

Validation of a generalized model for the description of polycrystalline exchange-biased magnetic thin films
(2022)
Applications based on nano- and microscaled systems have become indispensable in many aspects in everyday life, industry, research and medicine. In this regard, thin film technology plays a crucial role with the physical properties of solids changing significantly when they are reduced to thin layers with thicknesses in the nanometer range. In this regime, a solid’s microstructure as well as boundary and surface effects start to dominate. A prominent example is the exchange bias effect, which results due to the ...

Fabrication and Investigation of Diamond Membranes for Photonic Nanostructures
(2023)
Due to its exceptional physical and chemical characteristics, diamond in a form of thin membranes is a particularly promising material for the fabrication of high-quality photonic devices. Especially for envisioned applications in quantum information technologies and communication, diamond gained, as a host material, an ever-increasing scientific interest based on remarkable properties of different color centers in its crystal lattice, e.g. nitrogen-vacancy centers, serving as single-photon emitters. As a high index ...

Application of Temporal Airy Pulses for investigating the origin of Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures and for developing new tools in cell surgery and malignant tissue identification
(2023)
In this thesis, ultrashort Temporal Airy Pulses are used to study Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) in Part I and to enable the photoinjection of fluorescent markers into single living cells in Part II, Chapter 8. In both cases, the laser pulse excites a dielectric material (fused silica and water) and the special spatio-temporal dynamics of the interaction of a Temporal Airy Pulse with the dielectric is exploited to extend the shape of the excited region along the axis of laser propagation. For the ...

Control of Open Quantum Systems: Examples & Methods for Non-Markovian Dynamics
(2023)
Usually open quantum systems are considered to be under the influence of noise and therefore faulty. On the other hand, a controlled system is regarded as something stable and predictable. It is often neglected, that the two aspects are very closely related. A perfectly isolated quantum system will not be subject to environmental influences, but this makes it also impossible to interact with it in any manner. Controlling and measuring such a system is impossible and therefore of no technical relevance. Every system ...
Dissertation
Asymmetric magnetization reversal processes in exchange-biased microstructures
(2023)
Over the last decades, the exchange bias (EB) effect has captured the attention of the research community striving for high-density logic memory devices and sensitive sensor technologies based on bi-, multilayered, or patterned magnetic thin film systems. Macroscopically, the EB manifests in a horizontal shift of the ferromagnetic remagnetization loop and an enhancement of the coercivity, both connected to the induced unidirectional anisotropy (UDA) at the exchange-coupled ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic interface. ...

Ultraschnelle kohärente Kontrollmethoden für die nichtlineare Mikroskopie und Spektroskopie
(2023-11-28)
Ultrakurze Laserpulse im Nanojoule-Energiebereich auf der Femto- bis Pikosekunden-Zeitskala ermöglichen die Erzeugung immenser Feldstärken bei Fokussierung auf wenige Quadratmikrometer Fläche. In diesem Szenario wirken starke Kräfte auf die Elektronensysteme von Atomen und Molekülen im Fokus ein, so dass sich die linearen optischen Eigenschaften von Stoffen ändern können – nichtlineare Eigenschaften treten zutage. Mit einem Pulsformer kann auf die breiten Spektren ultrakurzer Laserpulse per spektraler Phasenmodulation ...

Towards the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in chiral systems using free-electron lasers
(2024)
Chiral molecules are life’s building blocks, making the study of their ultrafast processes a pursuit across various fundamental research fields. The results presented in this dissertation contain methodological, technical and scientific advancements that pave the way for future time-resolved, site-specific investigations into chiral photochemistry of randomly orientated molecules, using photoelectron circular dichroism and free-electron lasers. The high-repetitionrate free-electron lasers EuXFEL and FLASH2 will soon ...
