Paderborn U. to Receive Ample Funding, Establish Itself as Photonic Quantum Technology Center
With “Profilbildung 2020”, the NRW Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW) provides scope for the development of forward-looking research topics and the sustainable increase in the competitiveness of the respective institutions. To this end, it provides around one million euros in funding per project every year. Building on existing strengths, potential areas are to be expanded that contribute to the further development of research profiles. The University of Paderborn has now successfully prevailed with an application for the potential area “Photonic Quantum Computing”. In it, scientists pursue an interdisciplinary approach to the realization of a photonic quantum computer. In the future, all steps from basic research to new quantum algorithms to the modeling of large, complex quantum systems and the realization of photonic quantum networks for corresponding computing applications will be combined at one location. The project also aims to train a new generation of excellent researchers in the field of quantum computing, taking into account gender equality. With the profile area, Paderborn is to establish itself as an internationally visible center for photonic quantum technologies.

Shortage in Supply and Demand Sides for Skills in Quantum Computing Quite Evident
The acceleration in the quantum computing space and the growing number of companies, universities and government agencies that are pushing this wheel are driving the industry into the same problems that other market segments — think cybersecurity and data science — have hit: a skills shortage.
Quantum Information Science Gets $61M From U.S. Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today [August 19, 2021] announced $61 million in funding for infrastructure and research projects to advance quantum information science (QIS). QIS is the science of the extremely small, where molecules, atoms, and light can defy traditional laws of physics. Advances in QIS can enable new forms of computing, simulation, communication, and sensing that can advance breakthroughs.

Spotlight: U.S. ANL Researcher Invents Quantum Communication Devices at Q-NEXT
In graduate school, Argonne postdoctoral researcher Katie Sautter learned to master a machine that builds bits of matter one atomic layer at a time. Now she wields her considerable skills inventing materials for quantum communication devices at Q-NEXT.
Is Now the Time for Quantum Military Advantage to be a Thing?
When Miles Taylor first stepped foot in Google’s quantum computing laboratory, he knew he was somewhere special. “You felt like you were in the lab where they built the Apollo 11 command module that went to the Moon,” Taylor reflected in a recent interview. “There was historical significance in the air.”
