Welcome to Munich Quantum Valley

A research team from Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) at the Walther Meißner Institute (WMI), has implemented Perfect State Transfer on a chain of six superconducting qubits and demonstrated its usefulness in efficiently connecting distant qubits and generating multi-qubit entanglement.

Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), in collaboration with the PhotonLab student laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), has developed an innovative learning resource for the classroom. The interactive qubit- and quantum books are now available to all Bavarian teachers as an Mebis-TeachShare course. These courses facilitate the integration of quantum physics and quantum technologies into the classroom and cover key content in the bavarian curriculum.

This year, Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) was once again represented with booths at the spring conferences of the German Physical Society (DPG) of the sections Atoms, Molecules, Quantum Optics and Photonics (SAMOP) and Condensed Matter (SKM).

This week, the first regular event in the series “MQV Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen” took place at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ). During an introductory lecture and subsequent tour of the quantum optical laboratories at MPQ, the extremely interested audience gained insights into quantum simulation and quantum computing with neutral atoms.

MQV members are co-organizing this year's summer school on on "Quantum Computing – Status and Prospects" of the Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics at LMU Munich, 6–10 October 2025.

On Wednesday, Prof Rainer Blatt opened the series of events "MQV Einblicke – 100 Jahre Quantenwissenschaften und woran wir heute forschen" in the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 with his lecture "100 Jahre Quantenphysik – und das ist erst der Anfang" in the packed plenary hall of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

At its cabinet meeting on 11 February, the Bavarian state government reaffirmed its commitment to Munich Quantum Valley (MQV), thereby setting a bold course for its continued expansion. This decision paves the way for MQV’s overarching mission: to develop and operate cutting-edge quantum computers for real-world applications, in close collaboration with visionary start-ups and leading industrial partners.
