Welcome to the web presence of the Microwave Team Tübingen (MTT). As an independent group within the solid state physics department in Tübingen, we are interested in different research directions with one common element: electromagnetic microwave resonators for operation in extreme environments. Extreme environments include external magnetic fields up to the tesla-scale, elevated temperatures in the several kelvin regime, the presence of laser beams, as well as ultrahigh-vacuum environments as required for cold-atom setups. In most cases the microwave resonators we develop are superconducting LC circuits or standing-wave waveguide cavities on a microchip, based on the superconductors niobium or YBCO. However, they can also be of different nature, for example normal-metal 3D microwave cavities. Besides being interested in the fundamental properties of such resonators in their extreme environments both with and without focused-ion-beam enabled Josephson inductances, we are focused on realizing and investigating various kinds of hybrid quantum systems, which combine those microwave circuits with micromechanical oscillators, low-frequency LC circuits, micromagnonic resonators, cold atoms, and trapped ions.

An overview of our different research directions can be found in the research section, our publications are listed here and if you are interested in working with us have a look at our openings (positions and MEP/BEP research projects) or just send an e-Mail to Daniel.
