University of Cologne New York Office 10 Years Anniversary and ML4Q Event on Quantum Technologies

The University of Cologne’s North America Office celebrated its 10th anniversary with a festive in-person event at the German House, featuring art, music, networking, and the panel discussion “Transatlantic Perspectives on Quantum Science and Technologies.” On this occasion, we were honored to welcome a delegation from the University of Cologne, led by Rector Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Axel Freimuth.

The panel highlighted the University’s Research Cluster of Excellence “Matter and Light for Quantum Computing” (ML4Q) and its partner institutions in Germany and the U.S. The cluster develops state-of-the-art computing and networking architectures using the most recent findings from fundamental research in solid-state physics, quantum optics, and quantum information science.

Scientists have theorized about the potential of quantum computing for decades. But only in recent years have private and public sector investments in the development of quantum technologies grown significantly. Rapid advances in quantum technologies could revolutionize the world as we know it – from genomic sequencing to transport route optimization, from codebreaking to artificial intelligence.
Watch the recording to:
