A team of renowned Gdańsk physicists receive 35 million PLN to establish the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies at the University of Gdańsk

World-class scientists Prof. Marek Żukowski and Prof. Paweł Horodecki have received 35 million PLN to establish the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk. The strategic partner is the Austrian Academy of Sciences (the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information), one of the world’s best scientific centres in this field. The project is financed as part of the International Research Agendas (IRA) project run by the Foundation for Polish Science. At present, seven projects are being implemented in Poland as part of the International Research Agendas, with only two Polish universities, the University of Gdańsk and the University of Warsaw, receiving funding to establish no less than two innovative centres of excellence. A further and most recent International Research Agenda will be implemented at the Medical University of Gdańsk, which will greatly strengthen Gdańsk as a research centre.

International Research Agendas is a special programme by the Foundation for Polish Science designed to establish innovative centres of excellence in Poland, in which researchers from all over the world can conduct high quality scientific research concerning the current greatest scientific challenges. As part of the latest edition of the programme, three projects have received funding. The University of Gdańsk has received 35 million PLN to establish the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT), headed by Prof. Marek Żukowski from the University of Gdańsk.
