The MCML is one of Germany's leading research centers for AI and machine learning. It brings together the expertise of renowned researchers and young talents. Three international researchers who moved to Munich to advance their academic career, tell us about their research activities.
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.
Buenos Aires, Mumbai, Shanghai: A project in art history shows that the modern art movement was a global phenomenon and features virtual rambles in the cities where exiled artists found new inspiration.
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.
Why do blood clots develop in the first place—and why do they tend to recur? LMU researcher Konstantin Stark believes that the answers lie in the immune system.
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.
How do artificial neural networks and the algorithms derived from them reach correct decisions? And how can this be understood? Gitta Kutyniok, a mathematician, explores the mystery of artificial intelligence.
LMU anthropologist Sahana Udupa studies the sociopolitical impact of digital media, with a focus on the dynamics of extreme rhetoric on online platforms. Global collaborations are vital to understanding this global phenomenon.
Monika Aidelsburger elucidates the nature of many-body quantum phenomena. Her ERC Starting Grant has been topped up by an LMU Tenure-Track Professorship to pursue this work.
Sahana Udupa, Professor of Media Anthropology at LMU, studies the influence of diverse digital media on social communication and behavior.
