Torsten Zache receives ERC Starting Grant 04.09.2025

Theoretical physicist Torsten Zache has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for his research into quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. He aims to help overcome limitations in the numerical investigation of gauge theories. Gauge theories play a central role in understanding phenomena in high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum information science.
A blueprint for error-corrected fermionic quantum processors 28.08.2025

An international research team led by Robert Ott and Hannes Pichler has developed a novel architecture for quantum processors that is specifically designed for simulating fermions—particles such as electrons. The method can be implemented using technologies already available today.
