This week, we could present one of MPQ's neutral atom experiments to the German Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Aerospace, Dorothee Bär, and the Bavarian State Minister of Science and Arts, Markus Blume. Their visit focused on gaining insights into the recent breakthroughs in quantum computing research and fostering dialogue between academia, industry, startups and government on how to further assure Munich’s and Germany’s excellent global position in the field.
