Univer­sity of Konstanz, Depart­ment of Physics

The Depart­ment of Physics at the Univer­sity of Konstanz has a long history of research into quantum pheno­mena. In the Colla­bo­ra­tive Research Center “Fluctua­tions and Nonlinea­ri­ties in Classi­cal and Quantum Matter Beyond Equili­brium,” quantum fluctua­tions in electro­ma­gne­tic fields, magne­tic materi­als, and nanome­cha­ni­cal systems are inves­ti­ga­ted. Quantum physics and quantum infor­ma­tion are among the key focuses of research and teaching in the depart­ment. The research encom­pas­ses quantum compu­ting based on solid-state systems—in parti­cu­lar semicon­duc­tors and superconductors—as well as the theory of quantum compu­ting, quantum error correc­tion, and the modeling of noise and error sources.
