11.12.2025 NRW Returning Scholar Dr. Juba Bouaziz – Quantum Materials for Future Computing
Traditional computers are reaching their limits in tasks such as pattern recognition and finding optimal solutions for large-scale systems. New technologies such as neuromorphic computing and quantum computing offer promising alternatives, but they require materials with novel magnetic and electronic properties. This is the focus of theoretical physicist Dr. Juba Bouaziz.
09.12.2025 The Faculty of Physics mourns the loss of its honorary doctor, Prof. Dr. Siegfried Großmann
Obituary by Prof. Dr. Stefan Thomae
On 21 November 2025, Professor Siegfried Großmann passed away in Marburg at the age of 95. With his passing, we have lost an outstanding researcher, teacher and scientific advisor. In recognition of his outstanding scientific achievements, particularly in the theory of hydrodynamic turbulence and nonlinear dynamics, the Faculty of Physics awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2006.
03.12.2025 Exhibition connects worlds – quantum physics and art
When two completely different worlds – art and quantum physics – collide, new perspectives emerge. This is clearly demonstrated by the national art and science project ‘Quantum meets Arts’. The German Physical Society initiated it on the occasion of Quantum Year 2025, and the UDE is one of four project locations. Eleven artists from the Rhine-Ruhr region are now presenting their creative exploration of quantum phenomena on the Duisburg campus. The exhibition can be viewed exclusively on Tuesday, 9 December.
20.11.2025 Two minutes of weightlessness – team from Prof. Wurm's research group applies for rocket flight for their experiment
A team from Prof. Dr. Gerhard Wurm's research group has been invited to a workshop at the DLR in Bonn on Monday and Tuesday, 24 and 25 November 2026 – Christopher Grünebeck, Kai Stuers, Nico Wenders and Gretha Swantje Völke. Workshop at the DLR in Bonn. With a 25-minute presentation, they are applying for a rocket flight for their experiment.

Childcare room
The Faculty of Physics offers emergency child care for all faculty members and all CENIDE-members. If the regular daycare is closed, for instance, due to a strike or illness, care can be arranged in the childcare room. It is, however, not intended for foreseeable events such as holiday care or the like.
