The EU‘s largest research projects are the so-called Flagships and today,Monday,29 October 2018,a new giant Flagship was launched in quantum technologies.The Flagship has just kicked off during ahuge Quantum Flagship Kickoff in Vienna,where the first 20 projects will be revealed.Over the next 10 years,1 billion euros will be spent on developing technologies that could fundamentally change the way we process information.Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute are right at the forefront and have received money in the first round.The quantum researchers at the institute on Blegdamsvej in Copenhagen have great expectations for the European collaboration with colleagues from Holland,Germany,Spain,France as well as other European countries."The EU Flagship provides aunique opportunity to engage in research alliances that link the strongest academic groups together in the effort to solve some of the major challenges facing society,such as security or supercomputing.The ultimate dream is to build is to build quantum computers that can solve problems that are impossible with existing computers–or aquantum internet,where unbreakable communication can take place risk free and security is guaranteed by the laws of quantum physics,"explains Peter Lodahl,Professor　at the Niels Bohr Institute.The future internet is aquantum internet Avital issue for our existing internet is security.It is essential to prevent financial transactions and confidential data from falling in the wrong hands.Quantum technology provides asolution to this problem in the form of quantum encryption,which is a100 per cent unbreakable method of communication,as the method utilises the laws of quantum mechanics that originate from the research of Niels Bohr at the beginning of the last century.It is about coding information in asingle photon–the fundamental component of light.If you measure an individual photon,the measurement will inevitably disturb the photon and thus you will know if someone has tried to"eavesdrop".On the other hand,if no disturbance is detected then you can be sure that the communication is completely secure.The great challenge is to apply it over long distances,which is why a‘quantum internet’is high up on the list. 查看详细>>

Professor Bente Merete Stallknecht will be the new Prorector of the University of Copenhagen.She will,among other things,help to bring education closer to research.She comes from aposition as Head of Department of the Department of Biomedical Sciences and has conducted research into what exercise means for overweight.The new Prorector of the University of Copenhagen knows how physical activity can help prevent and treat diseases,and she has extensive experience with interdisciplinary collaboration.The Board has unanimously decided to appoint 54-year-old Professor Bente Merete Stallknecht as the University‘s new Prorector.She comes from aposition as Head of Department at the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.On 1August 2018,Bente Merete Stallknecht will take office as Prorector with special responsibility for education for afive-year term.Exercise is the keyword As aresearcher,Bente Merete Stallknecht has investigated what exercise means for weight and health.Most recently she has focused on endurance training,appetite regulation and insulin sensitivity in overweight adults.Among other things,she has evidenced that"fat can be fit”–that fatty tissue can be trained to become healthier.Moreover,she has studied the effect of exercise on the body when there is no simultaneous weight loss.The result is that exercise has many other health benefits beyond aweight loss,and that fat and muscles are redistributed through training,providing ahealthier body weight.Bente Merete Stallknecht is particularly interested in how to get physical activity into everyday life.She is behind the interdisciplinary FINE project,which found that for weight and fat loss,30 minutes of daily exercise is just as effective as 60. 查看详细>>
