Mierk Schwabe presents at Digital Green Talents Spring School
The project manager of Klim-QML, Dr Mierk Schwabe, gave the presentation “Quantum Computing for Earth System Modelling” at the Digital Green Talents Spring School and took part in an “Ask an Expert” Q&A session.
On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the first competition for young scientists, “Digital GreenTalents – High Potentials in Sustainable Development”, took place in 2024. The aim is to give 20 young scientists from all over the world the opportunity to spend a research stay in Germany and exchange ideas with each other and with the German digitalisation and sustainability community.
The award winners met in May 2025 for a one-week spring school to promote this exchange and discuss current research issues, including new developments in quantum computing for Earth system modelling.
Master Thesis on Explainable AI for a QML model for cloud cover – 04/2025
We congratulate our master student, Valentina Sarandrea, for finishing her master thesis on “Explainable Quantum Machine Learning for cloud cover parametrization“! Valentina studied the learning capabilities of a quantum machine learning model of cloud cover compared to a classical neural network and found that the training for the quantum case was more stable.
Project Meeting at the DLR Quantum Computing Innovation Center in Ulm 20/03/24
We had a very productive project meeting with the DLR, planqc and d-fine teams at the DLR Quantum Computing Innovation Center in Ulm. We discussed status updates, next steps, and were able to visit the planqc lab at the Innovation Center where a neutral atom quantum computer is being built.
Klim-QML PhD students present the project in the WE-Heraeus-Seminar 19/01/24
The Klim-QML PhD students, Ellen Sarauer and Janis Klamt, participated in the WE-Heraeus-Seminar “Quantum Computing and Simulation in the NISQ Era” at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef this week and presented the project there.

Janis Klamt wins Leibniz Talents Prize 06/12/23
Another prize for our team! Our PhD student Janis Klamt won the Leibniz Talents prize at the Leibniz University Hannover for his Master thesis on “Quantification of dust transport by dust devils (An LES-study)”. Congratulations, Janis!
Lena Dogra wins Abdus Salam Prize 30/11/23
Congratulations to our postdoc Lena Dogra, who won the Abdus Salam Prize for Postgraduate Student Research at the Physics Department of the University of Cambridge, where she did her PhD before joining Klim-QML. In her PhD project, Lena studied turbulent cascades of waves in a Bose-Einstein condensate and found a universal equation of state. Now in Klim-QML Lena is developing parameterizations of turbulence for climate models using quantum machine learning.
We are looking for you! 13/11/23
