The FWF Special Research Programme Foundations and Applications of Quantum Science made it possible to set-up a research group headed by the physicist Rainer Blatt which represents the basis for the development of quantum physics in and beyond Austria. With the help of bottom-up methods, the team investigates ways to use just a few atoms to build increasingly complex systems of quantum information processing as they are needed, for instance, in quantum computing.
