Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter
Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg(JMU) | Technische Universität Dresden
The cluster ct.qmat is a leading international center for research on topological and complex quantum matter. Our aim is to develop a deep understanding of quantum phenomena in general and to identify materials in which those phenomena are observed in the laboratory, with the goal to prove and enable novel applications.

CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter
Universität Hamburg | Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) |
Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter | European XFEL
The cluster’s central objective is to understand emergent phenomena of matter and – going one step further - to dynamically create new functionalities. Non-equilibrium emergence – its understanding and control – is the overarching theme of the cluster. Central to its success is the imaging of the dynamics of complex physical and chemical systems in real time, on the atomic scale.

Matter and Light for Quantum Computing
University of Cologne | RWTH Aachen | University of Bonn | Research Center Jülich
The aim of ML4Q is to develop new computing and networking architectures using the principles of quantum mechanics. Computing and networking power beyond anything classically imaginable would make quantum computers powerful tools in key areas such as materials design, pharmaceutics, or artificial intelligence. Quantum communication could be made effectively secure.
