This year's ZEISS Symposium was on Optics in the Quantum World
For Dr. Ulrich Simon, Head of Research & Technology at the ZEISS Group, quantum technologies are becoming increasingly important. At this year's ZEISS Symposium "Optics in the Quantum World," he emphasized that "up until now, people have tended to underestimate the opportunities afforded by quantum technology." The first specific product launches are expected in several areas in the next five to ten years. "The innovation cycles are becoming shorter, and it is important that companies like ZEISS commit to this technology. This will affect us more quickly than we thought a few years ago. In particular quantum sensors will prove important for our Medical Technology, Measuring Technology and Microscopy areas." Quantum sensors are enhanced sensors that are many times more precise than their predecessors.
Europe will play a key role in the development of quantum technologies. According to a survey conducted at the ZEISS Symposium, nearly half of the 300 participants from science and industry anticipate that in 2030 Europe will be the world's leading region for quantum technology. 39% expect it to be the Asia-Pacific region, 14% the US.
Prof. Dr. Michael Kaschke, President & CEO of the ZEISS Group, explained why the ZEISS Symposium focused on quantum technology: "Digitalization has transformed the world and is a product of quantum technology from the 20th century. “The first wave produced innovations like semiconductor technology and lasers. “Many people believe that 21st-century qu...
