The University of Konstanz (German: Universität Konstanz) is a university in the city of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its main campus was opened on the Gießberg in 1972 after being founded in 1966. The university is Germany's southernmost university and is situated on the shore of Lake Constance just four kilometers from the Swiss border. It has been successful in all three funding lines of the Excellence Initiative, both in 2007 and in 2012, and may thus bear the title "University of Excellence" for a number of years.

Snapshots from the quantum world

“A research collaboration with participation of the University of Konstanz can read out optically previously indistinguishable spin states by using a newly developed spectros-copy method The alternation between singlet and triplet states of electron pairs in charge-separated states plays an …

New type of magnetism unveiled in an iconic material

“An international research team led by scientists at the University of Konstanz makes a path-breaking discovery in strontium ruthenate – with potential for new applications in quantum electronics Since the discovery of superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 in 1994, hundreds of studies have …

“Chemists at the University of Konstanz have developed a method for more sustainable recycling of polyethylene-like plastics Plastics belong to the most widely used materials, and they are vital components of all modern technologies. So far, it has been possible …

Neither liquid nor solid

“Discovery of liquid glass sheds light on the old scientific problem of the glass transition: An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Konstanz has uncovered a new state of matter, liquid glass, with previously unknown structural elements – new …

Attosecond boost for electron microscopy

“A team of physicists from the University of Konstanz and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany have achieved attosecond time resolution in a transmission electron microscope by combining it with a continuous-wave laser – new insights into light-matter interactions. Electron microscopes provide deep …

Electronics at the speed of light

“A European team of researchers including physicists from the University of Konstanz has found a way of transporting electrons at times below the femtosecond range by manipulating them with light. This could have major implications for the future of data …

A step towards probabilistic computing

“Working group led by physicist Professor Ulrich Nowak at the University of Konstanz, in collaboration with a team of physicists from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, demonstrates how skyrmions can be used for the computer concepts of the future. When it …

Supercomputers without waste heat

“Physicists from the University of Konstanz explore superconductivity for information processing Generally speaking, magnetism and the lossless flow of electrical current (“superconductivity”) are competing phenomena that cannot coexist in the same sample. However, for building supercomputers, synergetically combining both states …

Shielded quantum bits

“A theoretical concept to realize quantum information processing has been developed by Professor Guido Burkard and his team of physicists at the University of Konstanz. The researchers have found ways to shield electric and magnetic noise for a short time …
