The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has approved a new special research area on quantum systems of neutral atoms. We are excited to announce that our group will be part of the project, together with the groups led by Hannes Bernien and Hannes Pichler from Innsbruck, and many more national and international collaborators.
The FWF will provide funding of approximately €4 million over a period of four years. The goal of the collaborative research network “Highly Connected Quantum Systems of Neutral Atoms” is to achieve a high degree of networking and quantum mechanical entanglement of many particles, even those that are far apart. With the realization and investigation of quantum systems that are now becoming experimentally accessible for the first time, the planned cooperation promises not only a deeper understanding of novel states of matter, but also practical breakthroughs in the field of quantum technology.
