Since its founding in 1827, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm has grown to become one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, and a key center of intellectual development and innovation. Today KTH is Sweden’s largest technical research and learning institution and home to students, researchers and faculty from around the world. Applied Physics is one of KTH's largest and most active departments, hosting several groups and projects in Quantum Technology. The division of Nanostructure Physics works on various forms of quantum and nano technology.

The University of Basel is a full University and has research priorities in the areas of Sustainability and Energy as well as Quantum- and Nanoscale Science. The Department of Physics is the coleading house of the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) “QSIT - Quantum Science and Technology” which combines high-level research in quantum physics and information theory and constitutes a priority program of the University of Basel. It combines basic interdisciplinary science with application-orientated research. In various projects researchers focus on the control of quantum systems and aim at providing new impact and ideas to the quantum science and technology, to the sustainable use of resources, and to information and communication technologies.

Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) a modern research university. More than 4500 employees work, research and teach at Austria’s largest institution for research and education in natural science and engineering. TU Wien offers a research environment that equally encourages high quality fundamental and application-oriented research, thus ensuring its long-term success. TU Wien selected five focal research areas among which are Quantum Physics and Technologies and Information and Communication Technology which include Sensor Systems.
