Jülich Summer Academy

Under the umbrella of the JSA, numerous interesting workshops, lectures, summer schools, etc. are offered for young scientists, such as students, PhD students and postdocs, but also for other interested parties. The events will deal with quantum computing, neuromorphic computing, big data and other topics. The Jülich Summer Academy, which is designed as an ongoing series, will start with a focus on quantum computing.

Closing lecture 2023

The first Jülich Summer Academy ended with an "Autumn Get-together 2023" on the campus on 26 September 2023. The highlight of this event was a lecture by Prof. Dr. Ir. Dr. h.c. Joost-Pieter Katoen, who dealt with the challenges on the way to an actually usable quantum computer.

Jülich Quantum Minds

„As a theoretical physicist, I grappled with some astounding concepts. But I don’t just want to explain the world, I also want to build something. Quantum computing is the ideal field for this.”

Frank Wilhelm-Mauch

“Developing quantum computers is like travelling in a hot air balloon. We are currently in the process of ascending. And we know that the balloon will go somewhere – we just don’t know the exact direction yet.”

Kristel Michielsen

“Research in quantum physics always reminds me of playing with Lego as a child. You tinker away until something materializes. There’s a tremendous amount of playful fascination to it."

Tommaso Calarco

„Future Computing Technologies in Jülich include Hardware, Software, Algorithms for Scalable Simulation as well as Data Science“

FUTURE COMPUTING TECHNOLOGIES IN JÜLICH

Quantum materials

Quantum materials such as semiconductors and superconductors are already used today in lasers, smartphones, and solar cells. Jülich researchers are optimizing existing materials and developing new ones for future technologies such as quantum computers and quantum sensors.

Quantum computers

n the future, quantum computers will solve tasks that are too complex for today’s supercomputers. Jülich covers the entire spectrum of research – from the search for suitable materials to the development of prototypes and applications.

Simulation

Simulations are an important tool on the path to realizing quantum computers. Quantum systems are mimicked on conventional computers with the help of special programs called emulators. Jülich holds a world record in this area.

Infrastructures

Large-scale instruments and facilities are essential for research into quantum technologies. Jülich is home to several infrastructures for research and application.

HPC Technology

Forschungszentrum Jülich drives innovation in the field of high-performance computing (HPC). Jülich experts work with partners to develop solutions for next-generation supercomputers.

Neuromorphic computing

Computers modeled on the human brain, so-called neuromorphic systems, are much more economical than conventional computers.

Interactive site plan of Forschungszentrum Jülich

At Forschungszentrum Jülich, it is possible to be digitally guided around the 2.2 square kilometre campus with the help of a navigation app. Download the app to your smartphone and it will show you the shortest route to your destination.

Download in the Apple AppStore

Download in the GooglePlay Store

For visitors who do not want to download the app, there is a light version of the navigation, that can be called up and used directly in the browser. To do so, please enter the URL http://site.guide in the browser of your smartphone and activate the recording of your location (GPS).

You can also open the map in a separate browser window . The map can be rotated and zoomed and you can search for buildings and destinations using the search function.
