    Description

    The HITec building enables precision experiments at the quantum level using three large-scale instruments, each of which is unique in the world. These include the Einstein Elevator for microgravity experiments (designed and constructed in Hannover), a fibre-drawing system for optical fibres and a fibre laser that can be used in space, as well as the tallest atomic fountain (very large baseline atom).
