Experts of FZJ and RWTH discuss the potential of quantum computing for computational engineering. When will qubit technology be ready for modern simulation science? What are the challenges that need to be overcome? What is the expected gain and which tasks will benefit in particular? Will quantum computing determine the next generation of HPC simulations? The panel discussion provides a platform of exchange and aims at identifying future cooperation opportunities between both communities.
Physicists from Jülich, Marburg, Regensburg and Graz win ERC Synergy Grant for ultra-high spatial and temporal resolution imaging of electron orbitals.JARA-FIT member Prof. Stefan Tautz and his institute are significantly involved in the grant.
Prof. Olivier Guillon, JARA-ENERGY member has been appointed Fellow of the American Ceramic Society. The certificate was awarded to him during The Materials Science & Technology (MS&T) conference in Pittsburgh.
The so-called scalability of quantum bits is considered one of the biggest challenges in developing a quantum computer. Researchers at the JARA-FIT Institute for Quantum Information have now come a significant step closer to finding a solution. They succeeded in transferring electrons, the carriers of quantum information, over several micrometres on a quantum chip. Their "quantum bus" could be the key component to master the leap to millions of qubits.
With his scientific research, JARA-FIT Scientist Prof. Rainer Waser has revitalised the field of memristive devices and pushed it further towards application. His findings lay the scientific foundation for novel devices that could be used in future "neuromorphic" computers inspired by the human brain. The internationally renowned journal Advanced Electronic Materials has now paid a very special tribute to the much decorated pioneer, who conducts research and teaches at Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University, and has published a special issue to celebrate his 65th birthday.
