The Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI) is committed to uncovering and interpreting new phenomena in condensed matter, designing innovative materials and functional structures at the nano- and quantum-scale, and advancing experimental and theoretical techniques. Our research focuses on potential long-term applications in information technology and related fields. A particular emphasis is placed on functional materials and emergent phenomena, quantum computing, and neuromorphic computing.

Our mission and vision

Our Research Areas

a

Functional Materials and Emergent Phenomena

We research quantum materials with the aim of using them for storing and processing information in the medium or long term.

a

Quantumcomputing

We are working together with partners from science and industry to build an European quantum computer in Jülich.

a

Neuromorphic Computing

We are researching a computational approach modelled on the human brain at all the necessary levels, from materials to circuit design and system integration.

a

Systems and Software

We are fostering and devloping the infrastructure for the physics of information processing.

NRW Researchers to Exploit Quantum Technologies for Energy Grids

Large fossil-fuel power plants are increasingly being replaced by renewable energies. This is accompanied by increasingly complex, intelligent networking, which requires computationally intensive control as well as increased levels of cyber security. Quantum technologies offer promising potential in this context.

PGI Colloquium: Prof. Ido Kaminer, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Solid-State Institute, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel

Until recently, work in quantum optics focused on light interacting with bound-electron systems such as atoms, quantum dots, and nonlinear optical crystals. In contrast, free-electron systems enable fundamentally different physical phenomena, as their energy distribution is continuous and not discrete, allowing for tunable transitions and selection rules.
