Rudolf-Steiner-Prize 2024
Dr. Mikhail Korobko has been awarded the 2024 Rudolf Kaiser Prize “for the first experimental demonstration of signal enhancement in an optical cavity through internally generated quantum correlations” in February 2025. The prize, worth €30,000, is awarded to experimental physicists who have published several outstanding research papers but have not yet been appointed to a professorship.
The award honors Dr. Korobko’s pioneering work on a new class of optomechanical force measurements, which go beyond quantum-enhanced gravitational wave detection.
