Wired Up: Majorana Fermions for Quantum Computing
Majorana fermions exhibit a strange property: these exotic particles cannot be distinguished from their own antiparticles. Nevertheless, technically they could be extremely useful as qubits for quantum computers. However, Majorana fermions are very difficult to detect. Scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich and RWTH Aachen University together with partners from the University of Hamburg can now demonstrate a possible way around this difficulty.
Tag des PGI 2020 - “Opportunities Through Change” and the annual Institute Assembly
Following on from last year’s very successful first “PGI-Tag”, this year’s Assembly will again be accompanied by entertaining and informative events. Due to the pandemic, this event mainly has to take place virtually. We are organising an online event from the Auditorium of the Central Library, which will enable everyone to participate and hopefully once more bring together the many different areas of the institute.
