Quantum photonics – Fraunhofer ILT
Quantum technologies are taking shape. They are expanding the engineers‘ toolbox, says Dr. Bernd Jungbluth, quantum expert at Fraunhofer ILT, in conversation with chief editor Dr. Matthias Laasch. Quantum progress is giving rise to new approaches – for metrology, computing, as well as communication – and Europe now has the opportunity to build its own quantum ecosystem. The podcast episode (in German language) shows how closely fundamental physics research, laser technology, and system design are now intertwined in quantum technologies.
