Supporting potential cooperation between academia and industry and between countries is always very motivating. It was nice to be a part of this webinar yesterday and present how the combination of #BMBF, #BMWK and state funding is supporting excellent research and development on quantum technologies (see e.g. #quantumalliance_de) and the growth of QT ecosystems throughout Germany that support comprehensive technology transfer. These ecosystems offer great opportunities for international collaboration between academia and industry....between Germany and Spain. For example, learn more about #QVLS_ilabs, a BMBF-funded #Cluster4Future (https://ilabs.qvls.de/) and our state-funded High-tech Incubator #QVLS_HTI (https://hti.qvls.de) startup.niedersachsen Land Niedersachsen Quantum Valley Lower Saxony Munich Quantum Valley #QuantumBW #qt_berlin #QuantumNRW #quantumalliance_de BERLIN QUANTUM #CUI ct.qmat IQST — Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology ML4Q | Matter and Light for Quantum Computing Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD: Photonics, Optics, and Engineering - Innovation Across Disciplines QuantumFrontiers Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB Leibniz Universität Hannover Technische Universität Braunschweig
Today Oficina Económica y Comercial de España en Berlín held a webinar on quantum computing and quantum technologies in Germany that included institutional, academic and business participation to give a holistic view of the current development of quantum technologies in Germany, including opportunities for collaboration in R&D or business cooperation for Spanish companies and organisations active in the development of quantum technologies and/or their possible applications. The webinar panellists included Dr. Jan Suhren representing the German Federal Ministry of Education and Science (BMBF), Dr. Tara Cubel Liebisch from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB and Dr. Robert Axmann from the German Aerospace Center (DLR). 👉 The webinar will be published shortly on the ICEX Webinar platform https://lnkd.in/dyZh-QV8

Focused issue on Epsilon-Near-Zero (ENZ) optics!
We the Guest Editors, Humeyra Caglayan, Howard Lee, and myself would like to share an exciting opportunity to be a part of a Focus Issue on Advancing Applications and Challenges in Epsilon-Near-Zero Materials coming up in JPhys Photonics, a part of IOP Publishing. For over 15 years the family of materials and structures exhibiting vanishing optical properties, either epsilon-, mu-, and/or index-near-zero (ENZ, MNZ, NZI, respectively), have given rise to fascinating optical effects. Yet many challenges remain, requiring advances in materials and material development, thermal management, improved modeling, innovative structure design, and integration into new platforms to unlock new application spaces. In this Focus Issue, we seek to collect works across this wide gamut of topics with the goal to push vanishing index materials for linear and nonlinear optical applications into the future. We hope you'll join us! The submission deadline for the issue is December 31st 2023. Find the details on Focus Issue here: https://lnkd.in/eDazwWGx

Dr. Narinder Singh Kapany, an Indian-American physicist, is widely recognized as the founder of fiber optics ¹. He is credited with coining the term and popularizing it. Kapany's work in the 1950s focused on transmitting images through fiber bundles, achieving high-quality image transmission. He also wrote the first book on fiber optics and held over 120 patents in his name. His contributions to the field of fiber optics and his efforts in promoting its potential have earned him the title "Father of Fiber Optics."
