IQST was originally a joint centre of the Universities of Stuttgart and Ulm and the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, but has been growing to include groups at other universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Facilities and research buildings
New buildings with state-of-the-art laboratories have been constructed: the Center for Applied Quantum Technology (Zentrum für Angewandte Quantentechnologie, ZAQuant, University of Stuttgart) and the Center of Quantum BioScience (Zentrum für Quanten-Biowissenschaften, ZQB, Ulm University).
ZAQuant aims at developing novel quantum devices and at bridging the gap between academia and industry; ZBQ aims at achieving groundbreaking advances in the fields of biology and medicine.
In addition, the precision laboratories at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research provide an isolated ‘noise-free’ environment for experiments to achieve the highest sensitivities. There are clean rooms in all three IQST locations.
VR lab tours
Take a virtual stroll through the labs of Stefanie Barz, Sebastian Loth and Sungkun Hong (University of Stuttgart), Fedor Jelezko (Ulm University), and Aparajita Singha (Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research).
