The Kharkіv Quantum Centre (KQC) is being established as an advanced research and innovation centre dedicated to the development of quantum science and technology in Ukraine. Located in Kharkiv, Ukraine, the KQC will serve as a global centre for collaborative efforts, education and revolutionary discoveries in quantum physics, quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum engineering.
The core mission of KQC will be to expedite the development and practical integration of quantum technologies with the potential to revolutionize various industries, including computing, cryptography, materials science, and more. KQC will aim to bridge the gap between theoretical quantum research and real-world applications, fostering a multidisciplinary environment where scientists, engineers, industry experts, and students will collaborate to unlock the full potential of quantum phenomena.
The center unites groups of scientists and lecturers from various educational and research centers in Kharkiv (B. Verkin ILTPE of NASU, NTU KhPI, NSC KIPT and V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University), who have been creating modern quantum materials for a long time, their comprehensive study both from an experimental and theoretical point of view. On the current early stages the main tasks of KQC are: the training of qualified young specialists and their further training in leading research centers in USA (Frolov Lab / University of Pittsburgh and Tulane University) and Europe (MagTop IF PAN, Poland), the creation of a base for communication between various scientists working in the field of quantum physics (creation of an Internet site of KQC, preparing and conducting Quantum seminars and Workshops on an ongoing basis, creation of Youtube channel for KQC), foreign trips to exchange experience, prepare materials and conduct research on modern equipment, participation in foreign conferences.
On the next stages, the KQC plans are to create and equip a modern laboratory, which will be engaged in the manufacture of quantum materials and their research at a high level.
