Toward a Quantum Internet: New Research Team Launches at RWTH A new research team focused on photonic quantum technologies will begin work this February at RWTH’s Lehrstuhl für Lasertechnik LLT - RWTH Aachen University under the leadership of Dr. Florian Elsen. The project has secured funding through the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) Quantum Futur program and is currently recruiting talented scientists. ☝ While quantum computers already demonstrate superior processing power compared to conventional systems for complex tasks, researchers are now tackling the next frontier: how to enhance their capabilities while ensuring secure access. The newly formed research group aims to address these challenges while pursuing their broader vision of creating a quantum internet that could enable revolutionary new applications. 👍 The research team will focus on developing specialized optical connections for quantum computers. These connections will be designed to modify key properties of photons – including wavelength, bandwidth, and duration – enabling different quantum computers to communicate both within networks and across long distances. The project employs various optical methods, both active and passive, which will undergo continued development and optimization. Beyond pure technology development, the team will combine theoretical modeling with practical system design to establish real-world demonstration networks. This integrated approach – merging quantum physics expertise with photonic technologies and systems engineering approaches – aims to create practical solutions that can accelerate the development of next-generation quantum networks.
