When two minds come together, there are greater opportunities for breakthroughs - especially when it comes to the development of the technology of the future - quantum technology. This is the message on Wednesday, in connection with the fact that Aalto University in Finland and the Danish Niels Bohr Institute have entered into and signed a cooperation agreement on research in quantum technology.
This has happened with the Danish royal couple and the Finnish presidential couple as witnesses in connection with a royal state visit to Finland. The agreement is a letter of intent signed by the head of the department at the Niels Bohr Institute, Joachim Mathiesen, and Ilkka Niemelä, who holds the title of president of Aalto University.
The letter of intent implies that the two parties will cooperate by exchanging employees, experiences and knowledge and collaborating on research projects within quantum technology. Quantum technology is an advanced form of mathematical design of computers and is expected to be able to deliver very complicated calculations that are not possible today.
The technology can help find solutions to the climate crisis, create medical breakthroughs and strengthen cybersecurity. In addition to witnessing the signing between the two universities, the royal couple, together with the presidential couple, also saw Finland's first quantum computer, which is at the university.
The Danish government's strategy for quantum technology was presented in 2023, where it was stated that Denmark should be one of the world's leaders in quantum research. As part of Denmark's quantum strategy, over one billion DKK will be invested in the years 2023 to 2027.
