Activities
The main goal of this working group, which is in the process of being set up, is to promote innovation in quantum technology. Specifically, the goals are
- to coordinate Austrian quantum activities and to link companies located in this industry
- to organize events to provide information on quantum technologies
- to screen funding in the field of quantum technologies
- to strengthen Austria’s position in the European and international environment
- to consolidate and expand Europe’s scientific leadership and excellence
In addition, research in the fields of communication, sensors, simulators and computers will be funded. In order to be able to realize these developments, excellent, transformative and innovative basic research will be supported.
The new QUANTUM working group is intended to mobilize players in quantum research and help new technologies to achieve breakthroughs.
