A Century of Quantum Mechanics – Time for a Female Perspective!

Our temporal exhibition is on display from March 8 through May 18, 2025, at the Dresden Technical Collections.

Grete Hermann was ahead of her time: as early as the 1930s, she critically examined key arguments against hidden variables in quantum mechanics—decades before the debate was revived by Bell and others. In this talk, Prof. Thomas Filk revisits her groundbreaking analysis and explores its continued relevance today.

CORPES is an international series of workshops, held biennially since 2005 and dedicated to recent experimental and theoretical advances in the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems and quantum materials. The workshops bring together scientists working in the broad areas of many-body electronic structure theory and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES).

At the heart of the Grete Hermann Network's mission is the goal to promote excellent female-led research and support the recruitment and careers of female scientists. In this spirit, we invite you to join a diverse audience of condensed matter physicists (male and female) with broad research interests and of all career levels for a three-day workshop at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg.

The school aims to teach a modern course in condensed matter and statistical physics, combining basic concepts with recent structural and interdisciplinary developments, and placing a special focus on the interactions between information, light, and matter.

Strong electron correlations and topology lie at the heart of quantum materials and their exotic states of matter. These are best understood by studying their electronic structure. This school, addressed to graduate early-career researchers, will introduce the recent experimental and theoretical developments in UV and X-ray spectroscopies, from their basic principles to their applications in the study of correlated materials.

Junior and senior cluster-affiliated scientists will meet in Erfurt for three days of scientific exchange and networking.

The aim of the school is to deepen the understanding of the physics of quantum materials with a focus on superconductivity. The lectures will address materials growth, measurement techniques, experimental results, theory, computation, and general understanding. We attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental ideas, the current status, the recent developments, and the perspective future directions in the field.
