In the podcast series “Weiß der Adler – Zukunft made in Adlershof” by FluxFM, Markus Krutzik and Gabrielle Thomas discuss quantum research.
What does quantum research deal with?
Most people can’t imagine much when it comes to the term quantum technology. However, it actually encounters us more frequently in everyday life than we think. In gaming, the benefits of quantum technology have been utilized for a long time. Especially exciting and promising areas for quantum technology are found in communication, computing, and sensor technology. And even for current challenges like data security, the research field can offer innovative solutions.
The podcast also provides understandable explanations for the audience who are not from a scientific background, about what quantum actually means and what significance the research will have for existing and new technologies.
What role does Berlin play in quantum research?
Berlin aims to become an international hotspot for quantum technologies. So far, countries like Canada, the USA, Spain, and Munich have been significant locations for quantum research. Berlin possesses all the necessary elements to advance the fundamental research of quantum technology at an international level and bridge the gap to the industry. Berlin’s quantum ecosystem consists of a vast network of Berlin’s universities, the Adlershof Technology Park, research institutes, industrial centers, and the initiative BERLIN QUANTUM. With Leap Berlin, a place for exchange and collaboration between researchers and quantum innovators has been established in Adlershof.
