Daniel Vajner, student in a French-German double degree master's program, received the Physics Study Award of the Physical Society of Berlin (Physikalischen Gesellschaft zu Berlin - PGzB) for the outstanding master's project he conducted at C2N, in the group of Jacqueline Bloch.
He investigated the behavior of so-called exciton-polaritons, a quantum mechanical superposition of semiconductor excitons, and bound photonic states in a microcavity, which can be described as a bosonic quasi-particle in its own right.
The award ceremony took place on 9 July 2020 in the Magnus-Haus in Berlin.
