In Physics, LUH came in ninth with a total of 19.1 million euros, regarding the highest DFG grants across Germany. This includes the research field of Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas, which acquired the largest share of this sum with 15.3 million euros, resulting in an excellent first place in the ranking for this subdomain of physics. Leibniz University Hannover is particularly strong in the research area of Optical Technologies - which is underlined by the fantastic victory at this stage of the Excellence Initiative.
In spring, the draft proposals for the clusters PhoenixD (Photonics, Optics and Engineering Innovation - Across Disciplines) and QuantumFrontiers (Light and Matter at the Quantum Frontier: Foundations of and Applications in Metrology) were assessed positively and it was therefore possible to submit a full written proposal.
