Fleischhauer
Congratulations to Michael Fleischhauer, Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau, Germany, the 2025 winner of the Herbert Walther Award. Fleischhauer is recognized for key contributions in nonlinear quantum optics, as well as photonic and atomic quantum technologies—
in particular for the development of a toolbox to coherently control multi-level atoms with light, including the concept of dark state polaritons and Rydberg dipole blockade physics.
