Roland Nagy

Roland Nagy serves as a Visiting Professor and head of the Institute for Applied Quantum Technologies within the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). He joined the university recently, as highlighted by FAU president Prof. Dr. Joachim Hornegger's visit in January 2024, part of the tradition welcoming new professors to campus.

His research pioneers applied quantum technologies, focusing on precise control of individual quantum particles like photons and electrons—a field considered nearly impossible two decades ago. Nagy's work spans quantum computing, quantum encryption for information security, and practical implementations in electrical engineering systems. This research bridges fundamental physics with real-world applications, particularly in secure communications infrastructure as demonstrated by the Erlangen Regional Computing Center's quantum encryption projects.
