New Fur for the Quantum Cat: Entanglement of many atoms in a quantum material discovered for the first time
Entangled Photons Tailor-Made
Physicists at MPQ have managed to entangle more than a dozen photons efficiently and in a defined way; thus creating a basis for a new type of quantum computer.
A Nanokelvin Microwave Freezer for Molecules
Researchers at MPQ have developed a new method to cool gases of polar molecules to near absolute zero. This paves the way for studying quantum effects of exotic forms of matter.
Quantum Cryptography: Hacking Futile
An international team led by Harald Weinfurter has successfully implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography for the first time. Encryption is more secure against hacking attempts.
About
The Cluster of Excellence Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) comprises over 60 research groups from disciplines like physics, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, material science and chemistry, covering all areas of quantum science and technology from basic research to applications.
The core goal of MCQST is to discover and understand the novel and unifying concepts in the interdisciplinary research fields of Quantum Science and Technology (QST). The cluster aims to make QST tangible and to develop the extraordinary applications within reach by building next-generation quantum devices.
