I will highlight the experimental signatures of quantum mechanically degenerate and coherent exciton ensembles in 2D heterostructures. Moreover, I will discuss how the real-space wave function of the excitons can be understood in reconstructed heterostructures with a Moir\u00e9 potential [5].<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10063\" src=\"http:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-abstract.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-abstract.png 1000w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-abstract-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-abstract-768x599.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Figueiredo\/Technical University of Munich, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.physics.aps.org\">www.physics.aps.org<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[1] M.

Holleitner is an experimental physicist working on fundamental aspects of optics and electronics in quantum matter, ranging from many-body exciton ensembles to topological aspects of atomistic materials. After his postdoctoral stay at the University of California, Santa Barbara, from 2003 to 2005, he was junior professor at the Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU), Germany. In 2007, he got promoted to professor in physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Since 2020, he is director of the Walter Schottky Institute and heading the Chair for Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials. Moreover, he is member of the excellence clusters Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology, e-conversion, and the Munich Quantum Valley. He is co-founder and spokesperson of the MSc degree program on quantum science and technology, as it is jointly offered by LMU and TUM in Munich.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10061\" src=\"http:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1754\" height=\"2480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster.jpg 1754w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster-1448x2048.jpg 1448w, https:\/\/unam.bilkent.edu.tr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Alexander-Holleitner-Poster-1200x1697.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1754px) 100vw, 1754px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexander Holleitner Technical University of Munich Heterostructures made from two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides exhibit a very large light-matter interaction [1], and they are ideal platforms to explore excitonic phenomena ranging [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10062,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[59],"class_list":["post-10060","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-nanocolloquium-series","cat_nanocolloquium-series"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
