Scientists at TU Darmstadt extend research on quantum computing to new dimension

December of each year, OPTICA, the U.S. optical society, selects scientific breakthroughs of particular interest to the broad optics community that have emerged over the past year. In this year, research conducted in the group of Prof. Gerhard Birkl at the Institute of Applied Physics at Technische Universität Darmstadt has been highlighted in this exclusive list. The special issue “Optics in 2023” of the journal „Optics & Photonics News” (OPN) reports on work conducted by Malte Schlosser, Dominik Schäffner, and their colleagues, towards advancing unique architectures for quantum computing and quantum simulation.
