Matter and Light for Quantum Computing (ML4Q)
ML4Q stands for Matter and Light for Quantum Computing. The Cluster of Excellence set off in 2019 for a long collaborative journey in order to develop new computing and networking architectures using new findings in the fundamental research in solid-state physics, quantum optics, and quantum information science.
The cluster's mission
Using the principles of quantum mechanics, it is the long-term goal of ML4Q to develop new computing and networking architectures with a power beyond anything classically imaginable. Quantum computers could be powerful tools in key areas such as materials design, pharmaceutics, or artificial intelligence. Quantum communication could be made effectively secure. ML4Q builds on the complementary expertise in the three key research fields of solid-state physics, quantum optics, and quantum information science to develop the best hardware platform for quantum information technology, and provide comprehensive blueprints for a functional quantum information network.
