Icy machines
It is colder in quantum computers than in space. Electronic systems are now being developed for these extreme conditions.
Issue 1-2022

Topics in this issue

Cool calculators
Qubits in quantum computers usually like it icy cold. Conventional electronic systems are not designed for this. New microchips from Jülich laboratories are set to change that.
An open race
Jülich researchers are working on various ways to generate qubits. It is still completely open which qubit type will ultimately win the day.
JUNIQ machinery park
Jülich infrastructure provides access to various quantum computers.

Europe’s number one has over 5,000 qubits
D-Wave quantum annealer launched at Jülich
Skintight
Artificial robot skin or wearables are areas of application for a new skin-like material.
Pioneers of a new computing era
The brain as a model: two Jülich researchers and their teams are developing neuromorphic computers.

A lighthouse for energy transition
The Rhineland region is to become a hydrogen model region. An interview with Prof. Peter Wasserscheid.
Into the crowd
Over a thousand people played train passengers for science – our reporter was one of them.
Seeing through at low cost
New infrared detector makes for low-cost camera chips.
