Summary:
Q-DYNAMO is Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Staff exchange among 10 participants from Latvia, Italy, Germany, United States, Japan and New Zealand.
The project aims to conduct a combined experimental and theoretical work plan focused on developing and testing quantum protocols and relying heavily on staff exchange. The protocols will rely on photons, primarily from laser sources, and be tested on qubits made from simple atoms and molecules. The innovative quantum control approach will be applied to a plethora of cutting-edge theoretical and experimental problems

Researchers' Night 2025
On 26 September 2025, Dr. Rita Veilande and Dina Bērziņa presented project and its activities within EU Researchers' Night organised at the University of Latvia
Prof. Johannes Hecker Denschlag guest lecture
On 4 August 2026, the leader of Ulm University group Prof. Johannes Hecker Denschlag from Institut für Quantenmaterie, Universität Ulm was gave a lecture ‘Demonstrating beam splitters for reaction pathways in the field of cold chemistry’
Researchers' Night 2026
During the pan-European Researchers' Night event, organised by the University of Latvia on 25 September 2026, the project co-ordinator Dr. Teodora Velcheva Kirova presented a poster to the general public devoted to the Q-DYNAMO implementation. She gave an overview of the achieved progress on the three scientific WPs, as well as summary on training, management, communication and dissemination activities within Q-DYNAMO project
