And now for something completely different! Our Center can trace its roots back to research in quantum mechanics, and indeed, at the Institute for Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University, a part of the group remains engaged in experimental and theoretical research aimed at the control and manipulation of quantum systems in the Quantum Measurement and Manipulation Group. In particular, we have an experimental system in the basement that can control and take pictures of single very cold atoms, and this is extremely useful for understanding how systems behave at the quantum mechanical, that is very small, level. We are also developing quantum tools and games, and are involved in a number of quantum initiatives internationally. 

In addition, we are hoping to merge the wonderful worlds of hybrid intelligence and quantum physics. That is, classical Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been used extensively in quantum research, but can we extend this to include the advantages of hybrid intelligence? This has the possibility to improve how AI and quantum are used to develop new quantum theories, build and optimize new quantum experiments, and even decide which quantum research questions to pursue.
