The power of
optical micro-cavities
We help you to use
the incredible power of optical micro-cavities
to enhance light-matter interaction for quantum technologies & research and new insights through ultra-sensitive absorption microscopy.
Cavity quantum optics platform
Quantum optics cavity experiments with solid state materials at 4K
Our microscopic high finesse cavity enhances light-matter
interactions for applications in quantum computation, single-photon
sources, quantum networks and other cutting edge research.
Use our quantum optics platform to sample thousands of
inhomogeneous nanosystems like quantum dots, NV-centers, or 2D-Materials
in a single run with the ability to perform quantum optics experiments
on every single one of them.
Ultra-sensitive absorption microscope
Absorption spectroscopy of low-dimensional materials
Our microscope provides spatial-, spectral-, and time-resolved absorption measurements with exceptional sensitivity.
Measure spectrally and spatially resolved absorption of nanosystems at the parts-per-billion level. Gain new insight for material research and see what nobody else saw before.

History
During our work with fiber-based optical microresonators, we realized the enormous power of this technology and its great potential in many research areas. We want to cut down the complexity and time it takes to build and operate an optical fabry-perot microcavity to enable scientists from various fields to boost their research.
On this premise we develop complete setups including highly reflective mirros, mechanical design as well as electronics, software, and consulting to get our customers an operating microcavity setup in various environments as fast as possible. Our ultimate goal is to provide a "turn-key" solution that unlocks the power of optical microresonators in every laboratory.
Team
Qlibri originates from the groups of David Hunger at KIT, Alexander Högele, and Nobel prize laureate Theodor W. Hänsch at LMU Munich and the Max-Planck-Insitute of Quantum Optics, where fiber-based microresonators were pioneered.
Our team provides years of expertise in micro-cavity and nanophotonic research.

Watch conference talk
Qlibri participated in the workshop 'Bridging the Gap: Nano meets Quantum' in Venice organised by CeNS and MCQST. It was a wonderful event. For all who missed the opportunity to join, you can watch the talk of our CEO Jonathan Noé online now.
New project
Qlibri is part of the Muquabis project. It is using quantum-bio-sensing and bio-imaging in order to overcome the limitations of state-of-the-art tools for cardiac imaging and spectroscopy.
We are hiring
Due to strong customer demand we are quickly expanding. For physicists, electrical and mechanical engineers and administrative staff we offer unique experience in creating fundamentally new awesome tools for cutting edge research! See open positions and just get in touch with us!
Qlibri GmbH is incorporated
Qlibri GmbH is founded.
Qlibri joins Quantum repeater research project
Qlibri is part of the project QR.X for developing a quantum repeater link based on color centers in diamond. We will contribute a stable, actively length-locked and flexible micro-cavity that can be interfaced with microwave and RF-bias lines.
Milestone in microscopy sensitivity
News from the lab: First complete hyperspectral microscopy image with noise floor well below 0.001% recorded in less than a second.
First cavity fiber mirrors delivered
Our first micro-mirrors are delivered to our research customers in the US and Spain.
Prestigious start-up funding
We received the prestigious EXIST Forschungstransfer start-up grant from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
Live absorption measurement at conference fair booth
We had our first booth at the industry exhibition of the Quantum Science and Information Technologies Fall meeting of the German physical society (DPG). We showed a live demonstration of absorption microscopy of carbon nanotubes resolving absorption at the 0.0001% level.
Award
We received the prestigious Nano innovation Award from the Center for NanoScience (CeNS).
Live absorption measurement on conference
4.3.2019 On the Single-Molecule Sensors and NanoSystems International Conference we showed the first life absorption measurement of our microscope.
Live stable cavity resonator on conference
We love the challenge. Where other exhibtors just bring dummies to their booths we demonstrated on the European Quantum Technologies Conference in Grenoble 100fmresonator stability of our fully scannable cavity quantum platform (during the noisy poster session and in our hotel room).
The Idea: a company dedicated to micro-cavities
The idea to build a company offering researchers and industry the power around fiber micro-cavities is born at the LMU in Munich.
