Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) promotes quantum science and quantum technologies in Bavaria with the primary goal of developing and operating competitive quantum computers. It connects research, industry, funders, and the public: Munich Quantum Valley promotes an efficient knowledge transfer from research to industry, establishes a network with international reach and provides educational offers for schools, universities and companies.
Munich Quantum Valley is supported by the Bavarian state government with funds from the Hightech Agenda Bayern.
Quantum computers are increasingly becoming a reality. However, special software is required to ensure that they can be used smoothly. The basis of such software, developed 10 years ago, has now been honoured with a ‘10-year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award’.
MQV members Michael Knap and Andreas Reiserer, both professors at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), have been awarded the prestigious Consolidator Grants of the European Research Council (ERC).
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) has appointed MQV member Dr. habil. Hans Hübl as Adjunct Professor in recognition of his outstanding achievements in research and teaching in the field of quantum science and technology.
For 13 years, the PhotonLab, the student laboratory at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, has been welcoming everyone who wants to learn about lasers, light and quantum physics. As of this Friday, a total of 22,222 students have visited the PhotonLab to experiment together.
Matthias Althammer, research group leader at the Walther Meissner Institute (WMI) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW) has been awarded one of the highly prestigious Consolidator Grants of the European Research Council (ERC). The research grant will fund a project that conducts MQV-related research.
