“Quantum technologies are future technologies with great opportunities and growing application markets,” write the Bavarian State Ministers Hubert Aiwanger, Bernd Sibler, and Judith Gerlach. Prof. Dr. Claudia Linnhoff-Popien, Head of the QAR-Lab, was asked to participate along with other experts from Bavaria to coordinate the activities within the framework of QuantenTech Vision Bayern. This group aims to promote the healthy “future development of this key technology in Bavaria, a great hub for innovation.”
Prof. Dr. Claudia Linnhoff-Popien was appointed to the panel of experts charged with drawing up a national roadmap for quantum computing. This panel was established by decision of Chancellor Angela Merkel and supported by the State Secretaries of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The experts met for the first time on October 6, 2020. Virtually, of course.
