ISEC 2025: International conference on superconductivity held in Erfurt

Erfurt hosted the 19th International Superconductive Electronics Conference (ISEC) from June 16 to 19, 2025.

Around 100 researchers from more than 20 countries discussed the latest developments in superconductive electronics – from quantum computing and neuromorphic systems to energy-efficient electronics. The conference was organized by the CiS Research Institute and the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT) in Jena and held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Erfurt.

Thuringia’s Minister President Mario Voigt opened the event, emphasizing Thuringia’s role as a hub for innovation. TU Ilmenau President Prof. Kai-Uwe Sattler highlighted the importance of superconductive technologies in meeting future energy needs. A standout moment was the keynote by Prof. Frank Wilhelm-Mauch on the QSolid project, which focuses on developing scalable quantum computers.

ISEC 2025 served as a platform for international collaboration and new partnerships – affirming Thuringia’s position at the forefront of technological innovation.
