Klaus Ensslin has been Professor of Solid-State Physics at ETH Zurich since October 1995. His research focuses on the physics of mesoscopic systems. The electronic properties of novel semiconductor nanostructures are investigated using material control down to the atomic scale including graphene and other 2D materials. One important goal is the ever increasing control and improved understanding of the quantum properties of electrons in nanostructures in view of a future quantum information processor. He served as a director of the National Center of Competence on "Quantum Science and Technology" 2011-2022.
Roundtable Room 3 (Level 3)
Forming Frontier Tech
A threat looming over the confidentiality of financial data is quantum computing. At some point – maybe not so far away – quantum computers may be able to break the encryption algorithms used in today’s financial system. Can Quantum resistance be achieved in time? And if yes, what are the challenges in preparing a safe transition to post-quantum cryptography?
