Given that 2013, the EPS has every year honored two female physicists with the Emmy Noether Award– recognizing exceptional achievements in research study, mentor, and science interaction while serving as good example to influence females to pursue careers in science. For instance, in 2014 the award existed to the French– Swedish physicist Professor Anne L’Huillier, who was later on bestowed the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2023. This year, the EPS jury commends Teacher Doris Reiter “for her innovative contributions to theoretical photonics and quantum innovation, her transformative management, and her innovative public outreach, as exhibited by the SUPER plan and the QuanTour job.”
Doris Reiter has actually been at TU Dortmund University since 2022, leading an independent research study group in theoretical condensed matter physics as an accessory teacher. Among her primary research study focuses is the theoretical description of producing premium photons required for quantum interaction. Her work on the so-called SUPER plan information an innovative excitation method in which 2 laser pulses connect in a targeted manner to considerably enhance the photon yield and minimize disruptive environmental influences. This scheme has been accepted worldwide and has opened a new field of research in both theory and experiment.
In addition, Teacher Reiter is deeply dedicated to fostering emerging clinical skill and to science communication. At the Department of Physics, she heads the Dortmund Graduate School of Physics, and she has actually been actively involved with the German Physical Society (DPG, Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft) for several years. In the framework of the International Year of Quantum Science and Innovation 2025, she started the outreach project “QuanTour”, in which a quantum source of light travels across Europe. The job has been featured in a number of global media outlets. With the recognition granted to Professor Reiter, the exposure of physics research at TU Dortmund University is strengthened on a global level.
