11. Quantum technology Our fields of strength
EXAMPLE: STRENGTH
Quantum technology
Using the fascinating quantum properties of atoms for technology that will revolutionise the world
Our fields of strength
Ever since Niels Bohr received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922, theoretical physics, the foundation for modern quantum technologies, has been a key strength in Danish research.
In , 9% of all registered quantum discoveries in the world were filed by the University of Copenhagen.
World leading scientists, including Charles Marcus, Peter Lodahl, Eugene Polzik and Ulrik Lund Andersen.
Microsoft has set out to develop the next-generation quantum computer in Copenhagen. The team includes Professor Charles Marcus, Head of Center for Quantum Devices at The Niels Bohr Institute.
Large talent base of researchers, engineers, PhDs and students in quantum science and technology (Condensed Matter Physics as well as Atomic and Molecular Physics and Optics).
Quantum technologies are entering a new era where commercial applications could revolutionise the world in several areas – for example future super computers for Big Data analysis.
In fact, quantum technology is already used in technologies such as GPS, fibre optic cables, superconducting magnets and mobile phones.
Our fields of strength – What is unique to Greater Copenhagen?
Among the world leaders
Greater Copenhagen has a very strong research environment in quantum physics and has been on the quantum world map ever since Niels Bohr became professor of theoretical physics 100 years ago.
Greater Copenhagen is now home to the leading scientists who put the region on the quantum technology map, fostering as many as 9% of all the world’s quantum innovations in Our scientiests include::
Charles Marcus – US scientist and leader of Center of Quantum Devices, KU, specialising in developing technologies for super computers using the properties of atoms, such as entanglement.
Peter Lodahl – Danish scientist who heads up the Center of Quantum Photonics, Niels Bohr Insitute. Working with quantum photonics and special crystals for use in future quantum communications.
Eugene Polzik – US scientist and head of the Center for Quantop. Works with quantum teleportation - a technology that could provide the basis for future ultra high-speed communications networks.
Ulrik Lund Andersen – head of quantum informatics group at DTU, specialising in the development of quantum informatics and 100% data transfer.
Large talent base
Excellent quantum research facilities have attracted a lot of talent to this field, including researchers and PhDs. DTU and the University of Copenhagen both also currently have more than 1000 students enrolled in physics where they have the opportunity to learn from some of the world’s leading scientist and get hands-on experience at the QuantumLab for students.
Potential and opportunities
The technologies of quantum physics are about to enter a new era with a large range of commercial application opportunities – the reason why the European Union has named this area of science one of Europe’s Flagship Technologies.
The most prominent business opportunity for this area could be the use of quantum technology in the field of supercomputers. Supercomputers using quantum technology are expected to reach a capacity for the heavy calculations required by Big Data far in excess of what we are capable of today.
Opportunities for utilising quantum technologies for commercial purposes are also to be found in areas that require data processing and communication. With quantum technology this can be done on a scale that is far ahead of what is currently possible.
For this reason, a lot of investment is already going into quantum technology – both from private foundations, hedge funds and several leading companies.

12. Quantum technology Potential and opportunities
Using the fascinating quantum properties of atoms for technology that will revolutionise the world
Potential and opportunities
The EU has named quantum technology a European flagship technology, expected to deliver epoch-making technology breakthroughs in the next decades.
Immediate breakthroughs are expected in supercomputers, highly accurate sensors, data processing and communications.
At Quantum Innovation Centre (Qubiz), researchers from Niels Bohr Institute, DTU and Aarhus University work with Danish and international companies to explore and accelerate the commercial applications of quantum technologies.
Significant investments from the EU, Innovation Fund Denmark, The Danish National Research Foundation and private foundations such as the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Lundbeck Foundation and the Carlsberg Foundation.
Strong collaboration with leading quantum research institutes such as Delft, ETH Zürich, Yale and Stanford.
Quantum technologies are entering a new era where commercial applications could revolutionise the world in several areas – for example future super computers for Big Data analysis.
