IQST Gradu­ate School @QuantumBW starts

PhD students at the new IQST Gradu­ate School @QuantumBW are putting quantum technol­ogy into practice. The Gradu­ate School is open to young researchers from all over Baden-Württemberg and strength­ens the QuantumBW innova­tion campus in partic­u­lar, as well as the connec­tion to indus­try.
The train­ing and further educa­tion of special­ists and managers is a central field of action in Baden-Württemberg’s quantum strat­egy. The state is there­fore funding the estab­lish­ment of a gradu­ate school in the future disci­pline of quantum technol­ogy with 4.7 million euros. In partic­u­lar, the new gradu­ate school will strengthen the QuantumBW innova­tion campus and promote exchange between the state univer­si­ties and with indus­try. It will be managed by the Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technol­ogy (IQST). “Quantum technol­ogy offers unimag­ined possi­bil­i­ties — from high-performance quantum comput­ers and ultra-sensitive sensors to naviga­tion in space. In order for the leap from theory to practice to succeed, we need excel­lently trained special­ists for science and indus­try. The new gradu­ate school with ten doctoral positions takes our QuantumBW innova­tion campus to the next level and further strength­ens Baden-Württemberg as a research and business location,” said Science Minis­ter Petra Olschowski on July 10 in Stuttgart.

Trans­fer from science to application 

The Ministry of Science is funding the ten doctoral positions at the IQST Gradu­ate School @QuantumBW for an initial period of four years. Gradu­ate schools enable a struc­tured doctor­ate — often with additional seminars and super­vi­sion. The new insti­tu­tion is not limited to one location, but is open to young researchers from all univer­si­ties in Baden-Württemberg. Each doctoral project is led by a research insti­tu­tion and accom­pa­nied by at least one indus­trial partner. This model promotes both the trans­fer from science to practice and the connec­tion between indus­try and univer­sity research. “Within the Gradu­ate School, we support projects that bridge the gap between basic research and technol­ogy devel­op­ment. These are projects with high techno­log­i­cal poten­tial, but which are still at an early stage of devel­op­ment. In this way, we create a link to practice,” said Prof. Dr. Stefanie Barz, coordi­na­tor of the Gradu­ate School. Researchers from Stuttgart and Ulm, together with partners from all over Baden-Württemberg, have been pooling their exper­tise in basic research and application-oriented research in the field of quantum technol­ogy at IQST for many years. A partic­u­lar focus of the IQST is the train­ing of doctoral students. The new gradu­ate school brings these estab­lished struc­tures together with the QuantumBW innova­tion campus. The main research fields to be addressed within the IQST Gradu­ate School @QuantumBW are:
  • Quantum sensor technol­ogy and metrology
  • Quantum comput­ing and quantum informatics
  • Integrated quantum technolo­gies, integrated quantum photon­ics and quantum materials
  • Quantum networks

In addition, train­ing and quali­fi­ca­tion measures are offered on topics such as trans­fer, founda­tion or intel­lec­tual property (IP). These train­ing courses are also open to doctoral students from other quantum initia­tives in the state. In this way, the doctoral network and the quantum commu­nity in Baden-Württemberg will continue to grow. The call for projects will be published in July 2024 so that the ten doctoral projects can start in October 2024.

Science Minis­ter Petra Olschowski visits univer­sity campus

Magnetic resonance imaging and GPS naviga­tion are based on quantum mechan­i­cal functions. However, quantum mechan­ics should also enable tap-proof commu­ni­ca­tion and highly sensi­tive sensors in the future. Quantum comput­ers could help with simula­tions or person­alised drug devel­op­ment. Science Minis­ter Petra Olschowski learned about Ulm University’s central role in pioneer­ing research into quantum science during a visit on Thurs­day, 6 June.

The state minis­ter was welcomed by Profes­sor Joachim Anker­hold, spokesper­son for the state-wide innova­tion campus for quantum technolo­gies QuantumBW and head of the Insti­tute for Complex Quantum Systems at Ulm Univer­sity. He presented research projects at the Ulm site and their integra­tion into QuantumBW and discussed current challenges with the Science Minis­ter. He also presented various activ­i­ties aimed at publi­cis­ing the research field of quantum science — from school labs to science slams. “We are delighted to be able to present to the Minis­ter the exten­sive activ­i­ties in the quantum field on the campus, which are an integral part of the new Innova­tion Campus. The gener­ous and long-term funding provided by the state is crucial for this still young technol­ogy with high innova­tion poten­tial,” says Profes­sor Ankerhold.

Science Minis­ter Petra Olschowski was impressed by the research activ­i­ties of the scien­tists in the field of quantum physics phenom­ena. “As a found­ing member of the state initia­tive QuantumBW, Ulm Univer­sity is driving quantum technol­ogy forward — from basic research to appli­ca­tion areas such as quantum comput­ing, medical imaging and sensor technol­ogy. In this way, the inter­dis­ci­pli­nary researchers are strength­en­ing Baden-Württemberg’s outstand­ing position in this field of innova­tion. Between theory and practice, optimal condi­tions are also being created for the promo­tion of young talent: the new Ulm Master’s degree programme ‘Quantum Engineer­ing’ is train­ing the sought-after special­ists and managers of tomor­row — for science, indus­try and the innov­a­tive strength of the state. At the Ministry of Science, we are eagerly follow­ing the second quantum revolu­tion, to which QuantumBW can make a signif­i­cant contri­bu­tion. We are support­ing this future-oriented research to the best of our ability,” says Petra Olschowski.

Cluster of Excel­lence proposal in the next round

2/2/2024, Press release of Ulm University

Cluster of Excel­lence proposal Chem4Quant in the next round

Ulm Univer­sity has cleared an impor­tant obsta­cle in its proposal for a Cluster of Excel­lence. Together with project partners from the Karlsruhe Insti­tute of Technol­ogy (KIT) and the Univer­sity of Stuttgart, Ulm Univer­sity has made it to the next round of the Excel­lence Strat­egy of the German federal and state govern­ments. This was announced today (Friday, 2 Febru­ary) by the German Research Founda­tion and the German Science and Human­i­ties Council.

From a total of 143 draft propos­als, the panel of experts for the Excel­lence Strat­egy initia­tive has selected 41 for a full proposal. These include the “Chem4Quant” draft proposal from KIT (the univer­sity manag­ing the funds), Ulm Univer­sity and the Univer­sity of Stuttgart. In this joint project, an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary team from the areas of chemistry, physics, computer science and materi­als science is seeking to develop atomi­cally precise mater­ial struc­tures to be used in future quantum technolo­gies. Using a chemi­cal platform, qubit materi­als are to be planned and designed in such a way that they will be ideally suited to the specific require­ments of quantum technol­ogy. The high-precision quantum archi­tec­tures are intended for use in such areas as the future quantum internet.

“We are thrilled that our draft proposal was success­ful and that we can now submit a full proposal for a Cluster of Excel­lence”, says Profes­sor Fedor Jelezko. Jelezko is the head of the Ulm Insti­tute of Quantum Optics and project spokesper­son for Ulm Univer­sity. “We are pooling globally unique exper­tise in the field of quantum science in Ulm, Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. This advanced technol­ogy is one of the driving forces of innova­tion for the future and puts the (German) South­west in a position of guaran­teed success in global scien­tific and economic compe­ti­tion”, empha­sises Profes­sor Michael Weber, presi­dent of Ulm Univer­sity, who announced the good news at Ulm University’s Dies academicus.

IQST and QuantumBW at the heart of the proposal

At the heart of regional quantum research is the Centre for Integrated Quantum Science and Technol­ogy (IQST). The IQST is an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary group of researchers from the natural sciences and engineer­ing that is unique in Germany. It is jointly run by Ulm Univer­sity, the Univer­sity of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Insti­tute for Solid State Research. 

Their shared goal is to develop innov­a­tive technolo­gies based on the princi­ples of quantum physics. The IQST is part of the QuantumBW network, which is funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg with the aim of provid­ing a collab­o­ra­tive network for members of science and indus­try in this field.

Infor­ma­tion on the draft proposal Chem4Quant: Chemi­cal platform for high-precision quantum architectures

In the joint initia­tive Chem4Quant, researchers from KIT, Ulm Univer­sity and the Univer­sity of Stuttgart aim to develop specific mater­ial struc­tures for future quantum technolo­gies. Despite the break­throughs achieved in the field of quantum technol­ogy so far, many of the platforms currently in use remain limited in terms of scala­bil­ity, adjusta­bil­ity, position­abil­ity and error correc­tion. Chem4Quant is thus propos­ing a funda­men­tally new approach, with a chemistry-based platform. Quantum archi­tec­tures that can be precisely defined in a chemi­cal sense make it possi­ble to delib­er­ately plan atomi­cally precise mater­ial struc­tures and their quantum proper­ties. For example, qubits can be positioned in electri­cal or photonic compo­nents with a preci­sion that lies below the nanome­tre range. 

The initia­tive aims to create new qubit materi­als and develop the first compo­nents for the future quantum inter­net. In this context, Chem4Quant can draw on globally unique exper­tise in the field of molec­u­lar quantum systems as well as estab­lished partnerships.

The Clusters of Excel­lence funding line is part of the Excel­lence Strat­egy of the German federal and state govern­ments. The funding programme is admin­is­tered by the German Research Founda­tion (Deutsche Forschungs­ge­mein­schaft, DFG). Approved Clusters of Excel­lence receive 3 to 10 million euros per year and the maximum duration of funding is two periods of seven years each.

The appli­ca­tion process has multi­ple phases. The panel of experts has now selected 41 out of a total of 143 draft propos­als for full propos­als (EXC propos­als). The final funding decision on the future Clusters of Excel­lence will be taken in late May 2025.

Quantum Technolo­gies meet Automotive

Cross-Clustering: Quantum Technolo­gies meet Automotive

Bridg­ing the gap between quantum technolo­gies and appli­ca­tions for the automo­tive sector — that was the aim of the cross-clustering event on Novem­ber 23, 2023 at the BRYCKE in Stuttgart.

The Networks Photon­ics BW, Elektro­mo­bil­ität Süd-West, Brennstof­fzelle BW and Intel­li­gent Move organized the cross-clustering event Quantum Technolo­gies meet Automo­tive with the support of the Regio­Clus­ter­A­gen­tur for innova­tion and trans­for­ma­tion in Baden-Württemberg in order to identify cross-industry and cross-technology syner­gies and highlight the appli­ca­tion poten­tial of quantum technologies.

Silvia Anna Palka, Regio­Clus­ter­A­gen­tur, welcomed the partic­i­pants to the event. In her welcome address, she empha­sized: “Cross-cluster projects accel­er­ate innova­tion. In line with the BRYCKE motto, ‘let’s make ideas happen’, I wish you all fruit­ful discus­sions”. A total of over 60 discus­sions were held in five rounds. Tobias Dürr, Economic Devel­op­ment Agency of the City of Stuttgart, provided the creative pop-up space BRYCKE as an inspir­ing venue.

Dr. Andreas Ehrhardt, Manag­ing Direc­tor of Photon­ics BW, then presented the innova­tion network for optical technolo­gies and quantum technolo­gies in Baden-Württemberg as well as QuantumBW as a new state initia­tive to promote quantum technologies.

Felic­i­tas Behr, Network Manager of the Cluster Elektro­mo­bil­ität Süd-West, presented the individ­ual networks and areas of respon­si­bil­ity of the state agency e‑mobil BW GmbH. The Cluster Elektro­mo­bil­ität Süd-West offers over 200 players from indus­try and research a neutral platform for sharing experi­ences and devel­op­ing new technolo­gies and sustain­able concepts. Key topics include new devel­op­ments in the battery value chain. In addition to the extrac­tion of raw materi­als and the produc­tion of cells, packs and modules, this also includes the battery manage­ment system as well as second-life appli­ca­tions and recycling. The expan­sion of hydro­gen and fuel cell technol­ogy in Baden-Württemberg is being driven forward by the cluster Brennstof­fzelle BW. The Intel­li­gent Move network is dedicated to the topics of digital mobil­ity, in partic­u­lar digital infra­struc­ture, digital vehicles and digital services.

Three special­ist presen­ta­tions then highlighted best practices and poten­tial appli­ca­tions of quantum technolo­gies for the automo­tive indus­try. The session was moder­ated by Andre Salzinger, Project Manager Quantum Technolo­gies at Photon­ics BW. Dr. Florian Kienle, Head of Atomic Gyroscope, and Dr. Robert Rölver, Head of Magnetic Sensing at Q.ANT GmbH, presented two differ­ent quantum sensors for naviga­tion appli­ca­tions. Atomic gyroscopes can be used to measure the small­est accel­er­a­tions and rotations. In addition, diamond-based magne­tome­ters enable spatial orien­ta­tion using finely resolved magnetic field gradi­ents. Dr. Mumma­nen Bharad­waj Chowdary, researcher at Fraunhofer IAO, dedicated his presen­ta­tion to routing and charg­ing plan optimiza­tion for electro­mo­bil­ity. Here, digital and analog quantum comput­ers offer the possi­bil­ity of solving complex logis­tics problems very efficiently. Dr. Chris­t­ian Osterkamp, Manag­ing Direc­tor and co-founder of Diatope GmbH, provided further insights into quantum sensor technol­ogy for improved battery manage­ment thanks to precise current measurement.

The presen­ta­tions were followed by various match­mak­ing rounds, initially in larger groups and then in targeted 1:1 meetings. This gave the partic­i­pants the oppor­tu­nity to find common start­ing points for cooperation.

After the match­mak­ing session, Tobias Rösch presented the federal government’s Research and Innova­tion funding advisory service and current funding programs and gave valuable tips on how to apply.

The partic­i­pants then had another oppor­tu­nity for personal network­ing and to deepen their contacts at a cozy get-together.

Follow­ing the success­ful launch of the cross-clustering event Quantum Technolo­gies meet Automo­tive, further events with new fields of appli­ca­tion are planned.

The cross-cluster event was also supported by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labor and Tourism.
