Research Buildings involving the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics

The faculty's research buildings differ from other facilities at Leibniz Universität in that they cater for clearly defined research. These dedicated buildings were built for specific research areas and equipped with large-scale devices, laboratories and office buildings for top-level research. The research programme and the expected time scale determine the main requirements of the research building and the large-scale equipment inside it.

Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Engineering

The Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Engineering is an interdisciplinary Leibniz Research Centre at Leibniz Universität Hannover in the field of nanotechnology. Substantive goals are both excellent basic research and applied engineering at the nanoscale, accompanied by appropriate cross-disciplinary training. Currently there are 26 research groups from physics, chemistry and engineering involved. To achieve its objectives the Laboratory of Nano and Quantum Engineering runs a research building in Hannover, with laboratories, equipment and several clean rooms.

Year of construction: 2008/2009
