Last week, we were at IdeenExpo GmbH 2026 in Hannover, and something stayed with us. A child stood in front of our ion trap demonstrator and asked: "But how does it know where to stay?" That is the kind of question that, if nurtured correctly, becomes a PhD thesis, a startup, or a breakthrough.

Best European Paper Award goes to Germany

They want to bring light to the world of microelectronics: The state of Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation are providing around €15 million in funding to the Lower Saxony microelectronics consortium ‘Nitride Technology Centre’ (NTC), which is led by TU Braunschweig. Under the project name ‘Bringing Light to Microelectronics’ (BRIGHT), the consortium is developing, among other things, a unique neuromorphic computer based on LEDs. In the future, this is expected to dramatically reduce the enormous power consumption of AI applications.

Come by to connect, collaborate, and explore the future of quantum technologies with us.

TU Braunschweig and the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) in Taiwan will be conducting joint research on germanium quantum dots as the basis for quantum computers over the next three years.

Third Quantum Job Afternoon for students and young professionals

QVLS was present throughout the week with a booth at the industrial and book exhibition.

We had the opportunity to present the QVLS ecosystem and projects and explore how quantum technology is transitioning from research to industry.
