A Polish physicist has won a €2.5 million grant for a research project into quantum mechanics.
Professor Karol Życzkowski from the Faculty of Physics, Astronomy and Applied Computer Science at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków received the European Research Council’s Advanced Grant for his ‘TAtypic’ project, which aims to identify structures with properties useful for processing quantum information.
Professor Jacek Popiel, the university’s rector, said: “This is a top-shelf grant, the most difficult to obtain.
“Obtaining it is, of course, a personal success for Professor Życzkowski, but also a success for the university, because the entire scientific path of the professor is connected with Jagiellonian University.”
The European Research Council is a public body for funding scientific and technological research within the EU.
The grant is awarded for ambitious projects, the results of which often lead to breakthrough scientific discoveries.
