A recent publication in "Nature Physics" by the research group of MATH+ member Jens Eisert shows that error mitigation does not work as a scalable scheme, contrary to its centrality to IBM's corporate strategy. What challenges arise with the question of how quantum errors can be mitigated?

In cooperation with the Einstein Foundation Berlin, the Berlin Mathematical School (BMS) of the Cluster of Excellence MATH+ awards up to three annual prizes for outstanding dissertations to BMS graduates. We are delighted that the MATH+ Dissertation Award 2023 have been presented to Viorel Andrei Bud, Toyomu Matsuda, and Arturo Merino for their excellent theses. Congratulations!

Das „Exzellente Pub Quiz“ bei der „Langen Nacht der Wissenschaften 2024” an der TU Berlin war ein großer Erfolg! Veranstaltet wurde es wie schon im letzten Jahr von den sieben Berliner Exzellenzclustern mit Fragen aus ihren Forschungsbereichen. 39 Teams wetteiferten in zwei Quiz-Runden mit insgesamt ca. 130 Teilnehmenden um den Gewinn und großartige Preise.

Hanno Gottschalk has been a professor for "Mathematical Modeling of Industrial Life Cycles" at the Institute of Mathematics at TU Berlin since April 2023, when he also became a member of MATH+. A significant focus of his research is the application of data-driven modeling using neural networks to automated driving, particularly specializing in its safety.

We are delighted that Bruno Klingler, Einstein-Professor for Algebra at the Department of Mathematics of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, has been awarded the MATH+ Distinguished Fellowship. The MATH+ Distinguished Fellowship Program recognizes outstanding contributions to the mathematical sciences and supports the work of world-leading mathematicians in Berlin.

MATH+ welcomes Grigorios A. Pavliotis of the Imperial College London as a MATH+ Distinguished Visiting Scholar, hosted by the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB) in June and July. The title “MATH+ Distinguished Visiting Scholar” is awarded to outstanding scientists and scholars from around the world with high international visibility.
