The innovation initiative QuantumBW launches the new Quantum^BW Colloquium on the campus of the Fraunhofer Institute Center Stuttgart. The aim of the colloquium is to promote scientific exchange on hardware and algorithmic topics in the field of quantum computing, to present the latest developments in this research area and to promote the idea of co-development of quantum solutions.

Fraunhofer IAF contributes to QuantumBW their worldwide unique network of research institutions and industrial partners in the field of quantum computing.

April 18: Quantum Computing with Trapped Neutral Atoms – made in Stuttgart

The colloquium will be opened on April 18, 2024 by Prof. Dr. Tilman Pfau with the topic THE QUANTUM LÄND: Quantum Computing with Trapped Neutral Atoms – made in Stuttgart. 

Professor Pfau and his group at the University of Stuttgart are researching the realization of special quantum computers. His platform is based on so-called Rydberg atoms, a special type of quantum computer with neutral atoms. In the recent past, promising progress has been made with regard to the scalability of this platform. For example, a research group recently succeeded in trapping around 6100 neutral atoms in an optical lattice and measuring coherence times in the range of seconds (~12 s).
