FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: AI-Discovered Fault-Tolerant Quantum Circuits
Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain problems much faster than classical computers, but they are also very sensitive to errors. Quantum error correction (QEC) is needed to keep errors in check. Unfortunately, some errors can spread in ways that QEC cannot fix. To handle this, fault-tolerant protocols use special “flag qubits”, quantum bits […]

FAU LMQ People Spotlight: Daniel Scherer
In this FAU LMQ People Spotlight, we interviewed our member Daniel Scherer, who leads the “Quantum Compilation” research group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) in Nuremberg since September 2024. What is your research topic? The research of the “Quantum Compilation” group is centered around the compilation layer of the quantum computing technology […]

FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: From Empirical Rules to Digital Predictions of ππ* Absorption Maxima
What happens when the wisdom of mid-20th-century chemists meets today’s digital tools? In their recent work, Connor Forster and Carolin Müller revisited and digitized the classical empirical rules of Woodward, Fieser, and Kuhn to predict ππ* absorption maxima directly from molecular structure. By translating their additive principles into a modern cheminformatics workflow, they provide a […]What happens when the wisdom of mid-20th-century chemists meets today’s digital tools?

Highlights from the Long Night of Science 2025: A Recap by funklust
The Long Night of Science 2025 in Erlangen remains a cornerstone of the FAU LMQ’s commitment to making research accessible to the public. Last year’s event was a significant success, marked by high visitor engagement and insightful discussions regarding our work in light, matter and quantum technologies. The campus media group funklust e.V. has released […]
