MQV In Persona
At Munich Quantum Valley and its associated institutes, many young scientists are working together to develop competitive quantum computers in Bavaria and to advance quantum technologies in their entire range. Their research activities are as diverse as the researchers themselves. "MQV In Persona" gives personal insights into the MQV ecosystem.
Christian Schneider
Postdoc at the Walther Meißner Institute (BAdW)
As a postdoc at the Walther Meißner Institute, Christian Schneider is responsible for advancing the work on fluxonium qubits. Creating something that has never existed before is what the physicist finds fascinating about his job. Not only is he passionate about the development of superconducting qubits, but he also sees exciting puzzles in many areas that have yet to be solved.

Richard Milbradt
Ph.D. student at the Chair of Scientific Computing (TUM)
As early as elementary school, Richard Milbradt wanted to become a researcher – "back then, for me that meant exploring the jungle and looking at animals" – today he researches open quantum systems. Even though his workplace is a fair way from a jungle, Richard has retained his original spirit of exploration.
