The proposed research programme addresses issues of fundamental and technological importance in quantum information science and its interplay with complexity. The main aim of this project is to provide a new paradigmatic foundation for the characterisation of quantumness in cooperative phenomena and to develop novel platforms for its practical utilisation in quantum technology applications. To reach its main goal, this programme will target five specific objectives: O1.

Our research is mainly devoted to the identification and quantification of genuinely quantum resources for efficient quantum information technology. 

Optimal control:

• Optimally engineered quantum technologies
• CRAB optimization
• BEC optimal controlled processes
• Cold atoms in optical lattice optimal manipulations

Extreme Simulations:

Quantum is backed by a non-profit organisation, relies on an international board of highly respected researchers for guidance, practices an open governance, and welcomes community feedback.

DG Connect, as follow up to the recent appointment of the High-Level expert group, has opened a public call in order to add 12 more members to the group.

The Call is aimed to industries with interest in the field of Quantum Technologies. Additional members will be individuals appointed to represent a common interest or organisations. Therefore, there will be two types of membership:
