Projects

From 11 to 16 April 2023, the 15 best physics students in all of Germany came together for the national final round of the Physics Olympiad. At the MPQ, they faced tricky theoretical and experimental tasks from all areas of physics and experienced a varied programme. The five best young talents will travel to Tokyo in July as the German national team and compete with young people from over 80 countries for Olympic medals. more

The European Quantum Flagship project PASQuanS continues. Led by Immanuel Bloch, 25 project partners from academia and industry will continue to cooperate intensively for another seven years to advance European quantum simulation capabilities. Their ambitious goal: developing large-scale programmable quantum simulators with up to 10,000 atoms... more

“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
