Cold Ions and Experimental Quantum Information

Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler and PD Dr. Kilian Singer

In Quantum Information Processing, we utilize genuine quantum mechanical effects for novel, up to now inaccessible, physical applications. Superposition of states and entanglement enable the realization of Quantum Computers, transfer of secret information, simulation of complex matter states and improved physical measurements.

In our experiments, we study systems suitable for such future technologies and how to improve them.
