Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI)

JARA-Institute Quantum Information (PGI-11)

Our institute pursues a diverse set of topics that further our theoretical understanding of electronic systems and devices at nano- and atomic scales, and the application of these small quantum systems to new forms of information processing.

Institute Heads: Prof. Dr. David DiVincenzo, Prof. Dr. Hendrik Bluhm

Colder than Outer Space

Forschungszentrum Jülich celebrated the opening of its quantum computer laboratories on the Melaten campus of RWTH Aachen University on Tuesday, 10 October 2023. The experimental rooms are equipped with a variety of cooling devices to test and further develop quantum computer hardware with superconducting qubits and semiconductor qubits at ultra-low temperatures of 10 millikelvin – a temperature that is significantly colder than in outer space.

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.
