Networks and Funding
Martin Gärttner is a principal scientist within the Abbe Center of Photonics, which bundles research activities in optics and photonics in Jena.
We are funded by the German Ministry of Science, Technology, and Space within a collaboration project between the Universities of Stuttgart, Siegen, Hamburg, and Jena, which aims to develop new benchmarking tools for Rydberg quantum computers. Our goal is to devise entanglement-based benchmarks and to study their behavior under the optimization of quantum algorithms with respect to specific hardware capabilities.
We are funded by the DFG within the Collaborative Research Center NOA (SFB 1375, Nonlinear Optics down to Atomic scales). Within this collaboration, we work on characterizing and tailoring quantum states of light from unconventional sources (project A7) together with the group of René Sondenheimer.
We were funded by the DFG within the Collaborative Research Center ISOQUANT (SFB1225, 2020-2024). Within this network we studied entanglement in quantum fields (Project A06) and the dynamics of disordered quantum systems (Project A05). We are still actively collaborating with the involved experimental groups in Heidelberg.
We were funded by the Baden-Württemberg foundation (2021-2024) within the competence network Quantum Technologies Baden-Württemberg, where we investigated methods for verifying quantum simulators in collaboration with the group of Alexey Ustinov at KIT.
We were funded by the Cluster of Excellence STRUCTURES (2021-2023) within which we collaborated with Razvan Gurau and Christoph Schnörr on two exploratory projects.
