Jannis Ruder: Young talent is revolutionizing quantum physics!
There is a lot of excitement these days about the young scientist Jannis Ruder from Stade. The 16-year-old is already proving that he has great talent in the field of quantum physics. Jannis has now taken impressive second place in the renowned regional competition “Jugend forscht” in the physics department for three years in a row. A truly proud achievement and the result of hard work and an unwavering interest in science.
His passion for physics began as a child, when he built rockets and enthusiastically watched documentaries about science and technology. Jannis has been an integral part of the “Jugend forscht” group at the Athenaeum Stade since the fourth grade, where his tutor Hans-Otto Carmesin praises his independent and thorough way of working. Jannis not only turns out to be inquisitive, but also has a good knack for innovative projects. He is currently working on a fascinating project to develop an interface between an electrical and an optical quantum computer.
Innovations on the rise
The quantum computers developed by Jannis have the potential to work faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional computers, making them particularly suitable for scientific calculations. His interface is a sub-project that he implemented independently, while the entire quantum computer project at the Athenaeum has already existed for three to four years. Jannis joined the group six months after the project began and has played a key role ever since.
The financing of his current project was generously supported by the Anna and Klaus Siemsen Foundation, the Athenaeum Support Association and the Lower Saxony Sponsor Pool. In this way, Jannis can continue to pursue his pioneering ideas and work on the interface that he has registered by combining several data streams, coupled to an algorithm. The young genius's enthusiasm is evident and he firmly believes in the future of quantum computers.
A look into the future
His tutor, Hans-Otto Carmesin, is convinced that this technology will one day be suitable for everyday use and can offer real added value to society. With his work, Jannis Ruder not only raises the flag of science, but also represents an inspiring guide for future generations who want to engage with technology and innovation.
Anyone wondering what's next in the world of science should keep a close eye on Jannis. His story is an impressive example of the opportunities available to young talent when they work on their projects with passion and support. In just a few years, this young man could be at the forefront of quantum physics and enrich the world with his findings. We can only dream of that in Stade and beyond.
Whether in the area of technology, for example through innovative laboratory services, or in emergency care, such as that which VEG offers for pets, there are fascinating developments everywhere that can enrich our lives and help at the crucial moment. The future is bright, that's for sure, and we can't wait to see what it holds.
