Quantum sensor technology for cancer monitoring wins Medical Valley Award
As part of the 'Munich Quantum Valley' Lighthouse Project IQ-Sense, researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a new method for the optical detection of MRI signals using diamond-based quantum sensors. In collaboration with the Hospital of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the researchers now want to make their method applicable for clinical use in the field of cancer monitoring, for which they have received the Medical Valley Award.
MQV Review Meeting 2023
From 26 to 28 September 2023, Munich Quantum Valley met in Eichstätt to discuss the progress of the various individual sub-projects over the past year and to identify new synergies and goals for the next years.
Lighthouse project Bench-QC: Searching for the quantum advantage in industrial applications
The Bench-QC lighthouse project aims to find out when quantum computers deliver better results than classical high-performance computers. The joint project is funded through the Hightech Agenda by the Free State of Bavaria until the end of 2025 as part of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV).
Lighthouse project "Quantum circuits with spin qubits and hybrid Josephson junctions" explores the core of possible future quantum computers
Four research groups of the University of Regensburg (UR) started their work in the lighthouse project "Quantum circuits with spin qubits and hybrid Josephson junctions" at the beginning of the year. Within the project, which is funded by the Free State of Bavaria as part of the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), they are investigating central components of possible future quantum computers based on semiconductor spin qubits and superconducting qubits.
Integrated quantum sensors for imaging and tissue analysis - Lighthouse Project IQ-Sense starts
The lighthouse project IQ-Sense began its work at the beginning of the year. As one of currently seven projects, it is funded by the Free State of Bavaria within the framework of Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) and aims to develop quantum sensors for application in biology and medicine.
Lighthouse Project QuMeCo – research at the interface between physics and electrical engineering
Funded by the Free State of Bavaria as part of Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), QuMeCo is set to explore new and better measurement and control methods for quantum systems and took up its work at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) beginning of January.
Lighthouse project "Networked Quantum Systems" (NeQuS) takes up work
The joint project, which is funded by the Free State of Bavaria as part of Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), will start on 1 January 2023. Scientists from five MQV institutes will work on networks of different quantum systems.
