Dr. Tobias Meng, Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Prizewinner of 2022 and leader of the Emmy Noether Junior Research Group "Quantum Design" at Technische Universität Dresden explained some of the big challenges the field is facing today, and presented examples of how to tackle these.

Dr. Haruna Katayama, Assistant Professor at Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering at Hiroshima University gave insight into her cutting-edge research where she proposes an analogue black hole in a superconducting circuit to verify Hawking radiation in a laboratory setting.

The talks demonstrated that research in Quantum Physics might not only lead to a “Theory of Everything” but also to very practical new technological applications.
