IQuAn (Ionen-Quantenprozessor mit HPC-Anbindung) is starting 1.1.2021, funded by the BMBF as part of german quantum technolgies. Our research team join forces with the team of M. Müller at Jülich, the EDVZ team of A. Brinkmann in Mainz, companies TOPTICA and AKKA and Fraunhofer institutes IOF and ILT, for building and operating a quantum processor based on trapped ions with connection to the high performance computer MOGON II.
SFB306 was approve 26 Nov. 2020. We are locking forwand to interesting new physics together with our friends in Erlangen and Saarbrücken (Pressemitteilung der DFG)

Welcome on the homepage cold ions and experimental quantum information processing headed by Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler. We employ quantum effects for novel applications. Superpositions or entanglement in trapped ions is used to investigate quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum simulation and improved measurements.
