Loyola Marymount University (LMU) is a private Jesuit and Marymount research university in Los Angeles, California. It is located on the westside of the city and is scenically positioned atop the bluffs overlooking Playa Vista. LMU is also the parent school to Loyola Law School located in downtown Los Angeles.

Artificial intelligence for rapid simulation of data

“Physicists at LMU play major role in new collaboration on digitalization in basic scientific research. LMU physicists Thomas Kuhr and Jochen Weller are collaborating with researchers from all over Germany in the KISS project. Funded by the German Federal Ministry …

Quantum physics: Microwaves direct the interplay of waltzing molecules

“The existence of so-called super molecules has long been predicted theoretically. Now, a Munich team of researchers managed for the first time to create the conditions for proving these exotic entities. A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute …

Quantum physics: simulation of superconductivity

“A Munich team of researchers has for the first time monitored in an experiment how positive charge carriers in a solid-state model combined to form pairs. This process could play an important role in understanding high-temperature superconductivity. Using a quantum …

More control over plasma accelerators

“Physicists at the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications at LMU Munich have combined two plasma-based methods of particle acceleration for electron beams. If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators …

Light-driven molecular swing

“Scientists at the LMU and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have used ultrashort laser pulses to make the atoms of molecules vibrate and have gained a precise understanding of the dynamics of energy transfer that take place in …

Revolutionizing image generation by AI: Turning text into images

“The Machine Vision & Learning Group led by computer scientist Björn Ommer has developed one of the most powerful image synthesis algorithms in existence. Creating images from text in seconds – and doing so with a conventional graphics card and without supercomputers …

Laser physics: Pumping up the music of molecules

“Laser physicists have used an optical resonator to amplify the characteristic vibrations of molecules excited by laser pulses in such a way that their identification becomes possible even at very low concentrations. Sensitive animal noses can sniff out trace particles …

Complex patterns: building a bridge from the large to the small

“A new theory enables the simulation of complex pattern formation in biological systems across different spatial and temporal scales. For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell migration, and the development of organs, the spatially and temporally …

Quantum cryptography: Hacking futile

“An international team led by LMU physicist Harald Weinfurter has successfully implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography for the first time. Encryption is more secure against hacking attempts. The Internet is teeming with highly sensitive information. Sophisticated encryption techniques …

The big chill: A microwave freezer for molecules

“A team led by quantum physicist Immanuel Bloch has developed a new method to cool gases of polar molecules to near absolute zero. This paves the way for studying quantum effects of exotic forms of matter. When a highly diluted …
