Remember? What we do at eleQtron is #MAGIC.
MAGIC stands for the technology we use for our #quantumcomputer (MAgnetic Gradient Induced Coupling). This technological approach already existed when I came to Universität Siegen and started researching it. Back then, however, the child had a different name: Spin molecule. Fairly descriptive, once you know what it is about, sure, but catchy? Hmm. Especially for laymen.
I kept thinking about another name. I had the idea for a long time that it would be sooo cool to abbreviate some physical technology with MAGIC. I always wanted to be able to write in a scientific article “…we did this and that using MAGIC”. 😁 I just couldn't come up with a good abbreviation with what I had done before.
But then - eureka -, I was been here for a couple of months, I suddenly thought of "Magnetic Gradient Induced Coupling". A truly magical moment 😉
I was kind of enthusiastic and took my idea straight to Christof Wunderlich, my boss at that time and now my co-founder at eleQtron GmbH. To be honest: as he is a very objective person, I was not really sure what he would think of my idea. But he also thought MAGIC is great - and we changed the name that day.

This is lovely.
