The JARA Institute for Quantum Information is a joined initiative of the RWTH Aachen University and of the Research Center Jülich. It combines the forces of theoretical and experimental research in quantum information science, with the overarching goal of contributing to the realization of large-scale quantum computation. Key research topics include semiconductor spin-qubits (physics and technology), quantum error correction, Majorana qubits and new principles for the implementation of quantum computation in noisy systems.
Our research at RWTH is on mathematical questions in quantum information science, focusing on quantum communication theory, theoretical quantum cryptography, and the theory of quantum algorithms.
The group ‘Theory of Superconducting Quantum Devices’ at the Institut quantique of the Université de Sherbrooke focuses on the physics of superconducting quantum circuits, and more particularly circuit quantum electrodynamics, with applications to quantum information processing and quantum optics. Our theoretical work is done in close collaboration with experimental groups worldwide.
