World Quantum Day 2022
Quantum Technologies
The second Quantum Revolution enables and rapidly evolves a large variety of novel Quantum Technologies working on completely different principles than classical technologies.
Therefore, Quantum Technologies have the potential to solve challenges in our future, to change the way how we perform our science research and to maximize the success in science as well as in industry.
The lecture by the recognized expert, Prof. Dr. Rainer Blatt, will open insights into this exciting novel technology (see abstract below).
The World Quantum Day is continued on the next day, 14.4.2022, 9:00-13:00 by an event with introductions, panel discussions and a poster session addressing Quantum Computing, Quantum Materials, Quantum Sensing and Communication as well as Technology Transfer.

A few decades ago, it became apparent that computers and many of their applications can be further enhanced by using operations based on quantum physics. Computations, whether they happen in our heads or with any computational device, always rely on real physical devices and processes. The technology for quantum computers requires the implementation of quantum bits (qubits) as storage sites for quantum information, quantum registers and quantum gates for data handling and processing as well as the development of quantum algorithms. In this talk, the state-of-the art of current quantum computer technology is briefly reviewed and exemplified with strings of trapped ions, which are harnessed as a quantum register in a quantum information processor. The quantum way of doing computations is illustrated with analog and digital quantum simulations. Ways towards scaling the ion-trap quantum processor are discussed.
