The Basel Quantum Center focuses its research on quantum science and quantum technology with condensed matter, atomic, molecular and optical systems, covering a broad range of applications in quantum computing, quantum sensing and metrology, quantum communication and quantum simulation. The center comprises 15 research groups in theoretical and experimental quantum physics in the departments of Physics and Physical Chemistry at the University of Basel, Switzerland. The center is thematically closely connected to the Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI), the NCCR Quantum Science and Technology, and the NCCR SPIN, and draws its major funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation and from many European programs including numerous ERC grants at all levels as well as the Quantum Technologies Flagship.
Our research covers a wide range of theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum science and quantum technology.
Our center hosts all PIs and their groups working at the University of Basel in the field of theoretical and experimental quantum science and technology.
