The last class of the semester will be Wednesday, March 20th. Michael Förtsch will be speaking on "Quantum Biosensing."
Michael Förtsch is the founder and CEO of Q.ANT, a start-up developing photonic quantum technologies. Q.ANT's product developments include photonic processors and three quantum sensors, for detecting particle properties as well as for human-machine interaction.
After studying mathematics and physics, Michael Förtsch earned his doctorate at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Light in Erlangen. For his scientific achievements in the field of quantum information processing, he was awarded the Otto Hahn Medal by the Max Planck Society.
After an international research stay at the National Institute for Standards and Technology in Boulder, he started as a strategy consultant at TRUMPF GmbH + Co. KG in Stuttgart in 2015. After successfully completing several strategy projects, he became the personal assistant to the CTO and vice chairman of the management board of the TRUMPF Group in 2016.
In 2018, he founded Q.ANT in Stuttgart, growing the company to 100 employees and 4 product lines.
