このコンテンツについて

 Nature is fascinating and so is physics let alone quantum physics! Join us as we delve into the lives of scientists and the complexity of their research topics. Grab a drink, hop on a bus or go for a walk and listen to the many different stories about being a scientist and basically doing something for a living only a few can understand. Our guests are all involved in the research mission of ML4Q, a German consortium dedicated to develop the best hardware platform for quantum information technology, and provide comprehensive blueprints for a functional quantum information network. #ML4QnAML4Q Cluster of Excellence 物理学 科学

    25. From PhD into the quantum industry: Michaela Eichinger
    2025/12/06
    Michaela Eichinger, Product Solutions Physicist at Quantum Machines and quantum content creator, joins Mira and Chris on ML4Q&A to discuss her journey from academic research to working in a deep-tech startup. She is representative of a generation of PhD students and postdocs from labs working on qubit technologies that join the emerging quantum industry. Her PhD work focused on gatemons and stencil-based nanofabrication of superconducting qubits at the Niels Bohr Institute. Now she works at Quantum Machines, a company developing control electronics for quantum computers that aims to provide hardware capable of meeting the demands of fault-tolerant quantum architectures. In this episode, Michaela reflects on the 2025 Nobel Prize, talks about cleanroom and measurement challenges during her PhD, and compares writing papers with writing patents. She explains her role at Quantum Machines and the company’s mission to harness FPGAs—the key electronic component—to control qubits on nanosecond timescales. In addition to synthesizing control pulses and processing readout signals, intricate classical computations must be performed in real time, for example to track qubit errors to correct them on the fly. Despite growing sophistication these advanced electronic products must remain easy to deploy. She also discusses the importance of science communication, which led her to launch a newsletter to help educate a broad audience about the latest breakthroughs and explain key ideas in quantum computing. Whether you are an aspiring quantum researcher or simply curious about the state of the quantum industry, this episode conveys the excitement of living on this technological frontier.

    24. Jens Eisert on joining ML4Q, frontiers in quantum information and teaching
    2025/09/08
    Jens Eisert joins ML4Q as a member for the next funding period which was granted around the time Chris and Mira recorded this Episode with him. So naturally, they discuss the German Excellence Initiative and how joining ML4Q was a natural step for Jens, given he has many previous and ongoing collaborations with other ML4Q members. Jens shares his insights on various aspects of quantum information processing such as benchmarking and no-go theorems, his recent white paper on AI and quantum computing, quantum error correction, complexity and pseudo chaos. Ultimately Jens makes a convincing case that quantum computers remain fascinating "even if you confine yourself to saying things that are true". He reflects on the unwritten rules of academia, teaching and inspiring students, and his approach to finding research topics by looking for "cultural gaps" between fields.

    23. Photonic Quantum Computing: Christine Silberhorn
    2025/07/10
    In this episode of ML4Q&A, host Mira Sharma, an associated member of the Matter and Light for Quantum Computing (ML4Q) Cluster, chats with one of the leading voices in experimental quantum optics - Professor Christine Silberhorn from the University of Paderborn. Christine’s groundbreaking work in integrated quantum optical systems has earned her numerous prestigious awards. She’s also a member of the Academy of Sciences and Arts of North Rhine-Westphalia and was appointed to the German Science Council in 2023. Her research focuses on making photonic quantum computing scalable and practical - using light particles, or "flying qubits," to push the boundaries of quantum communication. In this conversation, Christine shares how photonic quantum systems can be integrated on a chip, why education in quantum science needs fresh thinking as well as her personal journey in academia and research.
