This article reports on significant ERC funding for two distinct but parallel advancements: scaling up quantum matter through atom-by-atom assembly and investigating the neural mechanisms behind subjective consciousness. While the neuroscience component touches on brain function, the core technological breakthrough lies in Pennetta's project to engineer large-scale quantum systems using nanophotonic waveguides, which is central to the site's focus on quantum computing infrastructure.

Bonn Researchers Win EU Grants to Study Brains and Quantum Systems

Quantum Zeitgeist4 min read

University of Bonn researchers won €1.5M ERC grants—Professor Kunz will study the brain, while Riccardo Pennetta explores large-scale quantum physics.

© left: Viola Zeilberger/right: UKB/Rolf Mueller · uni-bonn.de Researchers at the University of Bonn will each receive 1.5 million euros over five years from the European Research Council to pursue ambitious projects in neuroscience and quantum physics. Physicist Dr. Riccardo Pennetta aims to scale up quantum systems beyond individual atoms with a project titled “Atom-by-atom assembly of QUantum MattEr in waveguide and cavity QED” (AQUME), seeking to create larger systems governed by quantum…
