Накратко на български

Квантовата наука и технологиите изследват поведението на материята на микроскопично ниво, например за създаване на по-бързи компютри. Развитието в тази област е важно, защото привлича специалисти и стимулира растежа на индустрията и новите компании в целия свят.

ESQ-FP: Erwin Schrödinger Quantum Science Programme

ESQ was hosted and coordinated by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW), financed by the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF). It was initially operated in close collaboration with three ESQ partners, the University of Vienna (UNIVIE), the Technische Universität Wien (TUWIEN) and the University of Innsbruck (UIBK). The mission of ESQ was to host a Fellowship Programme for excellent postdoctoral research in quantum science and technology and to support focused, exploratory research projects via a Discovery Programme. Funding via the MSCA COFUND scheme ESQ Austria allowed us to elevate the Austrian Fellowship Programme to a European level, providing it with a broader perspective to attract and train excellent incoming scientists to shape the quantum research landscape. While the Austrian programme had already started 2 years earlier, COFUND enabled the international selection and hiring of 5 fellows in each of three consecutive years 2018-2020 all with an employment contract for 2 years, which was only occasionally aborted to allow the candidates to follow a promotion to a longer-term position elsewhere in the world. This was timely and important, since quantum science and technology has seen a stuning growth in academia and industry, world-wide. Global investment in quantum technology are estimated to currently exceed 20 billion dollars, with large players in the US, China, Europe. Many large IT companies have joined the race and many start ups in the fierld are sprouting and flourishing. At the end of the ESQ COFUND program, the original task is even more urgent than before: Industry is absorbing the best quantum scientists on highly paid jobs, quantum researchers become young entrepreneurs and academic jobs in quantum science have been newly created. While large scale quantum computing lies still in the future, small scale systems have become commercially available, quantum random number generators, quantum key distribution systems have become commercial devices. The same is true for a wide field of quantum sensors, form atomic clocks, matter-wave sensors, NV-magnetometers, superconducting sensors etc. There is a clear need in academia and industry for a high number of highly qualified quantum researchers. ESQ was timely and important and lived up to the expectations.

Цел на проекта

Based on the Austrian scientific excellence strategy, the Erwin-Schrödinger Center for Quantum Science and Technology(ESQ) has recently been launched as a new nation-wide research initiative. ESQ is coordinated by the Austrian Academy ofSciences (OEAW), under the auspices of the Ministry of Science, Research and Economics, in close collaboration with theVienna University of Technology (TUWIEN), the University of Vienna (UNIVIE), and the University of Innsbruck (UIBK). Atpresent, 28 research groups cooperate in research and training programmes in quantum science and technology. ESQ willserve as a EU hub for Experienced Researchers and ESQ teams will contribute to the European Quantum FlagshipInitiative, as well. ESQ supports in particular postdoctoral careers and innovative projects in quantum research and it willgain additional visibility and momentum through the MSCA COFUND program fostering interdisciplinary inter-sectoralresearch. ESQ supports incoming international fellows in developing their scientific careers. The ESQ fellowship programmeoffers mentoring by scientists, who were selected for their scientific excellence and it builds on an excellent infrastructure atall partner organizations. ESQ provides an extensive international scientific network and many options for personneldevelopment and acquiring transferrable skills, also with industrial partners. For that purpose, the fellows will also be offeredextended academic and inter-sectoral secondments. The ESQ fellowship programme will publish one international call peryear to recruit up to 15 fellows distributed over three selection rounds and 54 months. The selection process follows theprinciples of excellence and transparency and will be supported by a high-level, international selection committee. The ESQfellowship programme thus enhances the research capacity in Europe substantially as it provides excellent researchopportunities to the best young talents in quantum research.
