I am so looking forward to attending DAMOP 2024, representing our Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers.https://lnkd.in/ejB_qD9W I must think back on past DAMOPs with memorable events, some that influenced my future career decisions and how the topics have evolved the past two decades (yes, I've been in this business a long time).- Eric Cornell's dinner talk on receiving the Nobel Prize that had the whole community laughing so hard- Discussing with Thad G. Walker and Mark Saffman at their poster on their proposal on realizing a single photon source using the Rydberg blockade (and of course talking about realizing Rydberg-based quantum logic gates)- Presenting our results on STIRAP of Rydberg atom transitions to Harald Metcalf- Hearing Robert Lutwak's talk on the CSACIt is incredible to see that there are talks on Rydberg atoms integrated throughout the entire program - 160 in fact!20 years ago there were sessions dedicated to Rydberg atoms and it was more a niche topic with only experts in the audience.What will be the most memorable events at this year's DAMOP2024? We'll see.I'm certainly looking forward to the invited talks by my colleagues:- Y02.00004 : Laser Excitation of the Th-229 Nucleus by Ekkehard Peik- J04.00004 : Integrating ion control at the chip level for a scalable quantum computer "core" by Christian Ospelkaus- N10.00004 : Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometry by Dennis SchlippertPhysikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB-Leibniz Universität HannoverTechnische Universität BraunschweigLaser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

🤝 Germany and the USA have a long history of cooperation in science, technology, and innovation; today, both countries tightened their collaboration in quantum technologies in a Joint Statement at the “U.S.-Germany Joint Commission Meeting on Science and Technology Cooperation” in Berlin.In this Statement, both sides acknowledge the great potential of quantum technologies while also recognizing the significant efforts required to fully harness benefits for society. Since the sharing of expertise and ideas enables groundbreaking innovations, both countries intend to foster a cooperative partnership in the field of Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST).Sabine Döring, State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, opened the Joint Committee Meeting in Berlin and emphasized, “The potential of quantum technologies for our societies and economies is vast, but so are the technological challenges ahead. Our joint statement today signifies our belief that international collaboration with leading quantum nations – such as the United States – based on shared values and principles is indispensable for progress. The statement underscores our intent to work together to shape the future of quantum technologies. Today the United States and the German quantum ecosystems move one step closer together.”Tina Kluewer, Director-General for Research for Technological Sovereignty and Innovation at the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, signed the Joint Statement for Germany.Rahima Kandahari, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Science, Technology, and Space Affairs for the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, signed the joint statement for the United States. "The United States and Germany have a strong tradition of collaboration to further scientific progress and benefit society," said Deputy Assistant Secretary Kandahari. "This Statement underscores our intent to deepen our collaborative tradition in QIST and together further progress in this field.” The Statement is subject to the Agreement between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany on Science and Technology Cooperation done at Washington on February 18, 2010.#ScientificCollaboration #USAGER #QIST #QuantumTechnologies

Yesterday, I had the chance attend the exceptional Science Summit organized by Falling Walls Foundation, with the motto "Which are the next walls to fall ?".November 9 in Berlin is an auspicious date and place for a city that 34 years ago saw its wall finally fall, a day of celebration, new beginnings, a new future. Bringing down the walls means offering hope for something better. This HOPE and tenacity came through in the opening speech by the Minister of Education and Research, Bettina Stark-Watzinger and two scientists, one from Israel, the other from Ukraine.Powerful, moving, determinate.Yes, unfortunately, there are still walls to break down, walls of hatred, obscurantism and terrorism.Of course, science doesn't yet give us the answers and tools to solve everything, but it does give us HOPE for tackling many of the challenges facing our societies.I listened to almost 8 hours of talks by researchers from all over the world developing research to detect Parkinson's disease at an early stage, fight obesity, prevent earthquakes, map the Milky Way, create a new source of energy "fusion energy", massively decarbonize and much more.If you have a bit of time this weekend, I recommend you take a look at last year's presentations, while waiting eagerly for this year's to come online.https://lnkd.in/ewE_ptvQ A truly source of inspiration and HOPE. And a big applause for the organizers! #sciencesummit #research #breakthroughthinking

Last Sunday, I received the news that Paul Havinga, professor at University of Twente and dear TNO colleague, passed away. Paul brought a lot to TNO. He joined TNO in 2019 as Director of Science within the unit ICT. Paul knew how to elevate innovations to a higher level. And he wanted to contribute in a meaningful way to solutions for the societal challenges we face in the Netherlands and Europe. Paul was brilliant, not only in his work but also as a person. He could genuinely connect with you and always supported you, even outside the workplace. He had the unique talent of asking the right questions. He approached problems from new perspectives, which made us all think. He inspired us to look beyond the challenges of tomorrow and encouraged us to think outside the box. In 2022, Paul stepped down as Scientific Director and was appointed Principal Scientist within the Advanced Computer Engineering department. He combined that role with his professorship at the University of Twente. From this position, he pursued greater synergy between TNO and the university. He was also a key driver behind the recent strategic collaboration between TNO and the university.In the recent #IPN I/O magazine Commit2Data special issue, Paul was interviewed about his work. Some of his statements are extremely important to researchers, at universities, at TNO and elsewhere. I feel comforted in the knowledge that his wisdom continues to be an inspiration.“The private and public sector can and should learn from each other for the benefit of all society. ... Getting into the real world and a bit away from perfect simulations allows you to get the insight that is needed.”“As a university, we need to look further into the future than companies. When I talk to our private partners, I never tell them we developed a very nice method; do you want to use it? No, I always ask what their problems and main bottlenecks are. This allows us to get inspiration for our research, leading to a new direction that ultimately benefits society.”“I am convinced there should be more interaction between academia and the private sector. That should also lead to companies getting the insight that people from academia are not just sitting in an ivory tower but can actually help with longer-term challenges.”https://lnkd.in/eNFeFJup
