Tim Engling is a doctoral student in Prof. Stefanie Barz’s group and conducts research on technologies for quantum communication and quantum computing. His research focuses on integrated photonic chips, which serve as a promising platform for scalable quantum systems. As part of his research, he investigates how photonic qubits in integrated circuits can be precisely controlled and processed, and how quantum information can be efficiently fed into and distributed across quantum networks. His work thus combines integrated photonics, quantum information processing, and the development of future quantum communication networks.

Prof. Anders’ research focuses on improving the performance and miniaturizing sensor systems for a wide range of applications across various fields, from materials science and Industry 4.0 to biomedical engineering. A particular focus is on making quantum sensors usable in everyday life. Through his work, Prof. Anders aims to make quantum technologies—and quantum sensor technology in particular—usable in everyday life. For example, Prof. Anders’s research group has already developed the world’s first portable electron spin resonance spectrometer, which will fundamentally transform the field of free radical detection. Such free radicals play a central role in many fields of application, and their measurement is currently often only possible via surrogate parameters. The interplay between free radicals and antioxidants, for example, directly determines a person’s state of health; but in the semiconductor industry as well, free radicals determine the quality of new energy materials used, for example, in modern solar cells. The research goal is to make high-precision quantum sensors usable in everyday life through basic research with colleagues at the “Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology” (IQST) and in close collaboration with industrial partners.

Dr. Thomas Strohm earned his Ph.D. in 1999 at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, where he conducted theoretical research on high-temperature superconductors. Thomas then joined the corporate research division of Robert Bosch GmbH, where he worked for more than 10 years in software development research and as a systems and software architect. In 2013, he began establishing quantum technology research activities at Bosch. Thomas Strohm is currently Chief Expert for Quantum Technologies at Bosch. Bosch conducts research and development in the fields of quantum computing applications and quantum sensing. In 2020, he played a key role in establishing the European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC), of which he is now president. Thomas is also the project coordinator of QOMPASS, the coordination and support initiative of the European Quantum Flagship. He is also a member of the steering committee of the German Consortium for Quantum Technology and Applications (QUTAC). Thomas makes technical contributions to the QUTAC working group on quantum systems as well as to Bosch’s research and development project on quantum magnetometers.
