The susceptibility to disturbances from external influences is one of the major challenges for the reliability of quantum computers. The research project DynaQuant, led by Prof. Michael Knap from the Chair of Collective Quantum Dynamics, investigates how specific properties of quantum states can be leveraged to develop more robust and efficient systems. The focus is on topological quantum states with particularly exotic properties. The aim is to develop new methods to better understand the behavior of these states, especially under non-equilibrium conditions. The results could contribute to the development of new quantum technologies and significantly advance secure data processing.
Michael Knap is Professor of Collecitve Quantum Dynamics. His research was recognized with an ERC Starting Grant in 2019. He is a member of the MCQST Excellence Cluster.
