Munich Quantum Valley is working to develop competitive quantum computing in Bavaria. It enables researchers to share expertise across disciplines, provides educational opportunities for young scientists, and partners with industry to translate research into practice.
Eva Weig and her team are building mechanical quantum sensors large enough to be seen under an electron microscope. One day, they could become fundamental components of a new quantum technology.
They call it the "magic angle." If an experiment slightly shifts two layers of graphene relative to each other, the carbon material—surprisingly—becomes superconductive. With this trick, scientists such as LMU researcher Dmitri Efetov have opened the door to a new realm of physics.
The Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat opens up new fields of research in quantum materials and designs tailor-made materials for the high-tech of tomorrow. This collaboration offers outstanding opportunities to work on global future topics in an internationally-networked scientific community.
Metrology, computing, communications: quantum research in Erlangen has a broad base. The team of researchers at FAU and the nearby Max Planck Institutes is also at the forefront of international advances in quantum imaging, quantum computing, and encryption.
Early-career researchers at MCQST are conducting cutting-edge research in quantum science and technology. The START fellowship program supports them to develop their own projects and take steps toward building an independent career.
Rupert Huber’s experimental work in terahertz and solid-state physics at the interface of optics and electronics is internationally renowned. His fundamental research is used in ultrafast atomic-resolution microscopes and quantum information processing.
Monika Aidelsburger experimentiert mit einer Spezialform optischer Gitter, um bislang schwer zugängliche Quantenphänomene zu beschreiben. Zusätzlich zu ihrem ERC Starting Grant hat die LMU sie dafür mit einer Tenure-Track-Professur ausgestattet.
An der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) leisten Professor Laurens W. Molenkamp und sein Team Pionierarbeit auf dem Gebiet topologischer Materialien. Das mit modernster Technik ausgestattete neue Institut für Topologische Isolatoren ist der ideale Ort, diese Forschung voranzutreiben.
Physiker der Universitäten Bayreuth und Grenoble haben einen neuen Mechanismus der Mobilität von Zellen entdeckt. Sie stellen damit das klassische Dogma infrage, wonach der molekulare Motor Myosin für die Fortbewegung von Säugetierzellen notwendig ist. Diese Erkenntnis ebnet den Weg für neue Strategien zur Steuerung von Zellbewegung mit potenziellen Auswirkungen für die Behandlung von Krankheiten. Darüber berichtet das Team in der führenden Physikzeitschrift Physical Review Letters.
