Saarland is investing millions in the future: New Center for Quantum Technology!

Saarbrücken, Deutschland - The Saarland state government has announced the establishment of a new, important center for quantum technologies (QUTE) at the Saarland University. The funding of over 53 million euros from the transformation fund is one of the largest individual funding measures in the state university and science area of ​​the state. Finance and Science Minister Jakob von Weizsäcker emphasizes the essential role that the center for the further development of quantum mechanics and technologies.

The cross will focus on Quantum Engineering and Quantum software. The first disciplines dealt with in this context includes the development and construction of quantum computers as well as the creation of operating systems and programs for this new technology. The University of Saarland plans to further expand its expertise in these areas.

Interdisciplinary cooperation for research exposure

The center will act interdisciplinary and combine the fields of physics, mathematics, computer science and engineering. Partners such as the Jülich research center are also involved, with the institute cooperated with two areas in Saarbrücken and a number of joint professorships. The aim is to build up a research excellence that promotes both innovative courses and practical developments.

Minister of Weizsäcker emphasizes that start-ups, patents and technical developments in the field of quantum computing should already be included in the planned results of the center. Particular attention is also paid to the Quantum software area, where the potential for start-ups for the development of algorithms that work on existing hardware is great. University President Ludger Santen underlines the novelty and importance of the focus on quantum computer software.

basic technologies and promotion by the BMBF

The basics of quantum technologies are based on the quantum mechanical principles that differ from everyday experiences. Quantums are the smallest, indivisible units of matter that make atoms. The most promising aspects include superposition and entanglement. Here, quantum computers with their quBITs can accept several conditions at the same time, which opens up completely new possibilities for parallel calculations. BMBF extensively promotes projection on Hoflchen and Innovations in Photonics, which is considered a key technology for the development of quantum technology.

Research in Germany focuses on various core areas such as quantum computers, quanta simulation and quantum communication. These technologies have the potential to transform our world and are extremely important for future applications in measurement technology or data security. Photonikforschung illuminates possibilities of these technologies and their comprehensive fields of application.

The Center for Quantity Technologies at the University of Saarland is therefore not only a far -reaching project for the region, but also a crucial step into the future of technology and innovation in Germany.
