In a historic event, the Niels Bohr Institute in Denmark and the University of Oslo in Norway have entered into a groundbreaking agreement on research in quantum technology. The agreement was signed in the presence of the Danish royal couple and the Norwegian crown prince couple during a state visit to Norway, emphasizing the importance and prestige of the collaboration. Quantum technology, considered one of the most promising future technologies, has the potential to revolutionize everything from computers to communication systems.
With this new agreement, the Nordic countries are positioning themselves as a leading force in the development of this advanced technology. Joachim Mathiesen, director of the Niels Bohr Institute, and Solveig Kristensen, dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo, put their signatures on the agreement, marking the beginning of a close collaboration between the two institutions.
“By collaborating across national borders, we can leverage our combined expertise and resources to accelerate developments in quantum technology,” stated Joachim Mathiesen at the signing ceremony. This agreement is not only a testament to the two countries’ commitment to scientific innovation, but also a step towards a stronger Nordic alliance in research and technology development.
With royal witnesses present, the day became a celebration of both scientific progress and international cooperation.
