Stephanie Wehner awarded the Körber Prize 2025

Computer scientist and quantum physicist Stephanie Wehner has been awarded the prestigious Körber European Science Prize. The €1 million award recognises her groundbreaking work on the quantum internet – an ultrafast and extremely safe network that will enable entirely new applications and computing possibilities. In the future, data could be transmitted with absolute security, while networked applications solve problems in record time far beyond the capabilities of today’s internet. The award coincides with the United Nations’ International Year of Quantum Science celebrating 100 years of quantum mechanics.
