Scoring with quantum technologies and droplet dynamics

The University of Stuttgart attracts funding from the German Research Foundation for two Research Training Groups [ Picture: University of Stuttgart/PI4, Dominik Flöß] - The overarching goal of the new Research Training Group "Towards Graduate Experts in Photonic Quantum Technologies" at the University of Stuttgart, which the German Research Foundation (DFG) approved for funding at its meeting on 6 November 2020, is to utilize the great potential of quantum physics for marketable applications. Funding for the international Research Training Group "Droplet Interaction Technologies" (DROPIT), which was established in 2016, was extended by four and a half years. Research training groups offer doctoral students the opportunity to complete their doctorate at a high professional standard and benefit from a structured research and program leading to a qualification. Currently the DFG is funding 222 research training groups, 34 of which are international. Research Training Group "Towards Graduate Experts in Photonic Quantum Technologies". Spokesperson: Prof. Jörg Schulze, University of Stuttgart, Institute for Semiconductor Engineering, phone: +49 711 685 68003, email : Quantum physics has led to a variety of possible applications in the fields of quantum sensing, quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum measurement technology - enabling highly efficient computers, tap-proof data transmission, and better diagnosis of diseases. For all these applications, proof-of-principle implementations have been demonstrated.
