About the research centre

Quantum UiB's vision is to substantially contribute to advancing foundational and applied quantum research. The centre will foster collaboration across academia, industry, public sector, and government. Furthermore, Quantum UiB will provide infrastructure for quantum experimentation and new technology for society, as well as contribute to training the next generation of quantum scientists and quantum experts for industry. 

The centre has 3 main research directions with several relevant application areas:

Quantum computing and information theory

  • cyber security and post-quantum cryptography
  • quantum algorithms and error correction
  • quantum communication

Quantum simulations and optimization 

  • quantum-inspired methods for complex systems 
  • combinatorial optimization for energy networks, logistics, and finance
  • Artificial Intelligence

Quantum sensing and experiments

  • diamond-based technologies 
  • nanoscale sensing for life sciences and health care
  • cancer diagnostics and proton therapy related research
  • navigation in GPS-denied environments
