Significance as a quantum place:

Historic and modern hub of quantum chemistry, quantum optics, and quantum materials

Type of facility:
University institution
Description of the quantum location:

Marburg has shaped quantum physics for nearly a century. Erich Hückel developed the molecular orbital method here, laying the foundation of quantum chemistry. Siegfried Flügge’s Rechenmethoden der Quantenmechanik trained generations of physicists, while Günther Ludwig advanced the mathematical foundations and interpretation of quantum theory. Later, Stephan W. Koch established Marburg as a center of semiconductor quantum optics. Today, the new research center mar.quest builds on this tradition by uniting physics and chemistry to explore quantum materials, ultrafast quantum dynamics, and their role in sustainable energy conversion and future quantum technologies.
