The working group develops theoretical foundations for quantum system design and demonstrates quantum advantages specifically in the domain of optical signal processing.

The research agenda includes the following main topics:

Emulation of future hybrid quantum communication networks. Our goal is to facilitate the interaction of theoretically and experimentally oriented groups and thus accelerate the design of new quantum communication networks.

Quantum system design, in particular the interaction of the different resources that can be used for high data rates, low latency and robust communication.

New potential use cases enabled by adding quantum communication resources to current communication systems.
