By setting up the QSE Center<\/a>, EPFL<\/a> aims to coordinate efforts across the board to develop and implement quantum technology in applications that span all disciplines of science and engineering.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping quantum technology is an incredible venture that puts us face to face with unprecedented scientific and engineering challenges. Meeting these challenges requires a concerted effort from all technical disciplines \u2013 physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and engineering \u2013 more so than for any previous kind of technological development,\u201d says Prof. Vincenzo Savona, the head of EPFL\u2019s Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of Nanosystems<\/a>. \u201cEPFL has a long history of excellence and leadership in these various disciplines and occupies a unique strategic position in quantum science and engineering, both in Switzerland and worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof. Savona, whose expertise spans quantum optics, open quantum systems and quantum information, will be the QSE Center\u2019s first director.<\/p>\n

Paving the way for major technological advancements<\/h4>\n

Research at the QSE Center will focus on two main areas. The first is quantum computing, with the aim of developing and implementing quantum algorithms as well as the computer programs needed to use them.<\/p>\n

The second research area will involve studying integrated, hybrid and scalable systems using EPFL\u2019s advanced nano-fabrication facilities. This will pave the way to technological advancements in quantum hardware, quantum sensing and quantum communications.<\/p>\n

The QSE Center will draw on the wide range of skills in quantum science and engineering already available in Switzerland. For instance, it intends to work closely with the University of Geneva<\/a> through joint R&D projects and jointly hold classes for Master\u2019s and PhD students.<\/p>\n

In addition, the QSE Center will promote research and innovation by holding events such as workshops, conferences, and programs on specific topics, bringing selected experts to EPFL for long-term stays. These events will foster interaction and collaboration and stimulate creative thinking and progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
