Holodeck at TU Dresden makes operating theatre scenes a virtual experience

What will the communication networks of the future look like and how will people work together with digital systems in the future? Two new research facilities at the Technische Universität Dresden are set to provide answers to these questions. With the opening of a quantum laboratory and a state-of-the-art holodeck, the university is strengthening its position as one of the most important European locations for future technologies. The new laboratory for quantum communication, quantum computing and quantum sensor technology is particularly ambitious. Instead of looking at individual applications in isolation, the researchers are pursuing an integrated approach. In future, communication, computing power and sensor technology should function as a networked overall system. The aim is to overcome the technological limits of today's networks and lay the foundations for the next generation of digital infrastructure.

This is about much more than secure data transmission. The scientists are working on new forms of information processing, intelligent sensor networks and high-performance communication architectures that could pave the way for 6G and beyond in the long term. At the same time, they are investigating how quantum technologies can be combined with existing mobile phone networks. At the same time, the Holodeck will be put into operation. The fully LED-based space enables immersive, digital experiences without virtual reality glasses. Researchers can analyse how people interact in virtual environments, make decisions and solve complex tasks together. Possible applications range from virtual industrial planning and simulation-supported product development to research into new working environments. Together, the two facilities form a powerful testing ground for merging the physical and digital worlds. For Dresden, the opening is more than just a scientific event. It underlines the region's ambition to play a leading role in key technologies that will shape the economy, society and healthcare in the coming decades.
