Quantum Physicist Jens Eisert Receives European Research Council Grant

Theoretical physics professor at Freie Universität Berlin receives ERC Advanced Grant for his work on quantum computers. Physicist Professor Jens Eisert from Freie Universität Berlin's Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems has once again received a grant from the European Research Council (ERC). The ERC Advanced Grant will provide more than 1.8 million euros worth of funding for his research project "DebuQC," which will run for the next five years. This is the third ERC grant that Professor Eisert has been awarded. The professor for theoretical quantum physics and his team are looking to answer some of the most pressing research questions surrounding quantum technology, as well as to explore the limits of this promising technology. ERC Advanced Grants provide support for well-established, prominent researchers who are looking to explore new fields of study. Quantum technologies - and quantum computers in particular - are considered to be enormously promising when looking ahead to the future.
