Nominator's project description

Martin Bodo Plenio is a world authority in the field of quantum information science and has produced ground-breaking work on entanglement in quantum systems and the practical realisation of quantum information processing. In Ulm he is expected to make a significant contribution to establishing the planned Centre for Quantum Engineering where mathematicians, physicists and electrical engineers are supposed to work together on a par with the best in the world.
