Eindhoven University of Technology (TU\/e)kickedoff its new research institute on quantum and photonics:the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute. Thisinstitute was opened byRobbertDijkgraaf, director of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, andGerda Casimir, daughter of Hendrik Casimir.High-techcompany ASML, one of the key partners of TU\/e, gave the new institute a set of high-techmachinerydonations worth 3.5M eurosin orderto congratulate the universityonits 65thanniversary.<\/p>\n
Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir InstituteWith the exponential growth of our information society, the end of traditional scaling in communications and computingcomeintosight. To continue the trend in computational power and energy-efficient communication, emerging photonics and quantum technologies arekeyavenues to beexplored.Both technologies arealreadyworld-class in Eindhoven,asillustrated by recent multimillion-eurofunds.The Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute (EHCI) willsmartly entanglethe twotechnology fieldsto create synergy: the superfast light-driven communication technology of photonics and the mind-blowing calculation magic of quantum technology.<\/p>\n
Hendrik CasimirDutch physicist Hendrik Casimir (1909-2000)ismost famous for his work on superconductivity and quantum physics, most notably the Casimir effect. He also was ahigh-techindustry leader for decadesasthedirector of therenownedPhilips Physics Laboratory.He definedprinciplesfor research management that are still very muchapplicabletoday.<\/p>\n
Donations from ASMLASML,the world's leading supplierofthe semiconductor industry,had a great surprise for TU\/e, which celebrated its 65thopening of the academic year today. The companygave the university a set of high-technanotechnologymachinesand servicesforthe new institute and forthestudent labs, with a total value of 3.5M euros.<\/p>\n
\"We are extremely grateful to ASML for these wonderfulpresents,\"commentedTU\/e President Robert-Jan Smits.These donations underline TU\/e's particularly good relationship with ASML and withindustryin theBrainportEindhovenregion.\"<\/p>\n
\"We hope that this equipmentwill enable researchers and students at TU\/e to push the boundaries of knowledge,achieve scientific breakthroughsand therebycontributeto a better future. Because that is the power of technology. And we hope thatstudents atTU\/e will gain even more high-tech knowledge,\" says Frank Schuurmans, Vice-President Research at ASML,who handed over the gifts symbolicallywith an ICproductionwafer.<\/p>\n
