THE QUANTUM BREAKTHROUGH

FUTURAS IN RES

"FUTURAS IN RES" conference: The Quantum Breakthrough

In 2021 the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will host the third international science and technology conference of its “FUTURAS IN RES“ series.
 

This year’s topic is “Quantum Technologies” and it will be held from November 23–25, 2021 in Berlin, Germany.

 

The second-generation quantum technologies have already resulted in an increasing number of practical applications and bear a high innovation potential for the years to come. This year, our invited international experts from research and industry will present you and discuss the latest R&D advancements and applications in the areas of:

  • Quantum Imaging & Optics​
  • Quantum Communication 
  • Quantum Sensing​
  • Quantum Computing​ 

Quantum
Imaging & Optics 

With tailor-made quantum states of light we can overcome classical limits of noise and resolution, improving images under critical conditions.

Quantum Communication

For the first time in the realm of cryptography, quantum communication enables quantifiable security based on nature’s laws of quantum physics.

Quantum
Sensing​

Quantum sensors achieve unprecedented high spatial resolution and sensitivity beyond what can be achieved with classical sensors.

Quantum
Computing 

Principles of quantum physics revolutionize computation by solving complex problems which are out of reach of classical machines.

About "FUTURAS IN RES"

"FUTURAS IN RES" is derived from the expression "medias in res" and means coming straight to the point about the opportunities and challenges of our future.

Understanding the complex effects of new technologies and disruptive innovations is essential for the success of entire societies and economies. Many aspects of life, technology, experience and work will continue to converge and transform. Structural changes through technological developments must therefore be recognized, understood and communicated at an early stage – in order to actively shape long-term impacts on economic, societal, political and cultural dimensions. 

With the "FUTURAS IN RES" conference, since 2018 the Fraunhofer Think Tank provides exactly the right forum for this: ideas meet solutions, visionaries meet practitioners, supporters meet admonishers, thinkers and developers come up with new questions. "FUTURAS IN RES" combines scientific excellence with internationality, future-orientation and a profound focus on sustainable value creation with benefits for industry and society. 

Speaker program

Today’s possibility of targeted quantum-mechanical control of individual elementary particles has ushered in the “second quantum revolution”. ​​

This will open up novel possibilities and innovations for all areas of technology, industry and business.

Program details and information about our world-class speakers coming soon.
