The 2017 Report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig provides an overview of the structure and research activities of the three institutes. We are happy to announce that Prof. Dr. Caudia Schnohr from Universität Jena will join the Felix Bloch Institute for Solid State Physics beginning 2019 filling the vacant position in the department for Solid State Optics. Dr. Johannes Deiglmayr from ETH Zurich will establish an independent department for Quantum Optics at the same institute.

Welcome to the 2011 report of the Physics Institutes of the Universität Leipzig presenting to you an overview of our research in numerous projects. We have enjoyed research and interaction with colleagues and partners worldwide. We are grateful to our guests for enriching our academic year with their contributions in the colloquium and within the work groups. 2011 has seen the BuildMoNa Symposium on \"Hot Nanoparticles and Nanostructures\", bringing together theoretical and experimental experts on the rapidly emerging and highly interdisciplinary field of laser-heated nanoparticles and nanostructures at the intersection of nanophotonics and nanoscale non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics.
