Projects

“NeQus” is a new joint project as part of the Munich Quantum Valley, in which scientists from the TUM, LMU, MPQ, WMI, BAdW), and WSI are working together to connect different quantum systems - atoms in a vacuum, quantum dots, superconducting quantum bits, and dopant atoms in silicon. more

Leading researchers in quantum science, including Immanuel Bloch from MPQ, have published a perspective article on the future of quantum simulation, a special form of quantum computing, in the current issue of the high esteem science journal Nature. more

In his newly established independent research group, Johannes Zeiher and his team investigate quantum matter interfaces and their application for quantum simulation and quantum computing with neutral atoms. Recently he was able to acquire 3.3 million euros from the BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) with his project SNACQ (Scalable Neutral Atom Quantum Computing). more

Bavaria's Minister of Economic Affairs Hubert Aiwanger has handed over funding certificates totalling 52 million euros for the development of a Bavarian quantum computer. The Max Planck and Fraunhofer Institutes involved in the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) received the funding in an official handover yesterday at the Max Planck Institut of Quantum Optics.The two organisations are jointly developing hardware and software for the construction and operation of quantum computers in Garching and at other locations.  more

An expert community for quantum technologies from science and industry has developed new guidelines for joint action of industry, politics and science. Yesterday, the programme was adopted at a virtual event organised by the BMBF, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in Germany. more
