Research infrastructure

DLR is an important source of impetus and ideas for future innovations for industrial partners and strengthens marketable developments with its unique opportunity for testing in over 180 large-scale research facilities.

Together, ideas and technologies are further developed into new products, processes and services - for commercial application for the benefit of society.

DLR's large-scale research facilities are used across institutes and programmes. In addition, DLR makes its facilities, research aircraft and expertise available to national and international partners from research and industry.

Laboratory for atomic sources

Miniaturised atom sources for magneto-optical traps or ion trap quantum computers are a focus of research in the Department of Integration of Micro- and Nanosystems. We therefore operate a laboratory in which alkali metals can be processed and the atomic sources analysed spectroscopically.

Laser Laboratory

Laser light of different wavelengths is required for quantum systems. QT-IMN operates a laser laboratory for the development of photonic structures and the construction of simple quantum systems. Here, our miniaturized systems can be tested with various light sources.

Large-scale research facilities

The Institute of Quantum Technologies operates large-scale research facilities on its sites in Bremen and Ulm
