Precision engineering Max Planck Institute relies on DMG Mori for ultra-precise quantum componentsAt the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, groundbreaking Nobel Prize-winning research depends on ultra-precise components. A dedicated in-house workshop, equipped with DMG Mori 5-axis machining centres, enables engineers to craft delicate parts with micrometer accuracy.

(Source: DMG Mori)The Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) in Garching, near Munich, has its origins in a laser research project group founded in 1976. With four departments in different areas of laser development and quantum physics, the institute researches the interaction of light with quantum matter at extremely low temperatures.
