Welcome to the Huber group at the University of Regensburg!
Many of the fundamental laws and unexpected phenomena in condensed matter physics are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons and ions on the femtosecond time (1 fs = 10-15 s) and terahertz frequency scale (1 THz = 1012 Hz). Unravelling such ultrafast processes is the main interest of our research. We develop next-generation, high-intensity femtosecond laser sources and THz technology, and employ them to explore novel femtophysics.

 | Would you like to delve into the nanocosm and use state-of-the-art ultrafast nanoscopy techniques to investigate the inner workings of matter? What if you could even do that simultaneously at Angstr?m spatial and femtosecond temporal scales?
Our group has vacant positions for young scientists at the Master's and PhD level to join us in cutting edge research and measurement techniques, opening the doors to solving fundamental and previously untouchable fields in nanoscale light-matter interaction, high-temperature super-conductivity, exciton dynamics and more.

Working closely with colleagues from both scanning tunnelling microscopy and ultrafast optics, your tasks would include design, setup and operation of nanoscopy equipment as well as analysis and modelling of the results with the focus depending on your individual preferences.
You are highly motivated, have a physics background and want to work in a stimulating environment uncovering the mysteries of the nanoscopic world?

Together with our partners, Stefan Tautz from Jülich, Ulrich H?fer from Marburg, and Peter Puschnig from Graz, we have been awarded an ERC Synergy Grant worth 11.3 million �. In a close collaboration of our groups we will take actual slow-motion movies of molecular orbitals during charge transfer processes, chemical reactions, and wave packet motion driven by lightwaves.

Together with the group of Mackillo Kira (Michigan), we use multi-terahertz light fields to force electron-hole pairs in semiconductors onto closed recollision paths. Attosecond clocking of these trajectories reveals how many-body correlations like strong Coulomb interactions modify the charge carrier dynamics. This novel concept offers a completely new access to exotic phase transitions and quantum dynamics important for future electronic and quantum-information technologies.
The results have been published in Nature....
