We at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information – Vienna (IQOQI-Vienna) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences are committed to advancing knowledge and enhancing human understanding of nature and its laws. We also actively pursue the vision of quantum information science and the wide range of new possibilities it would open up for humanity. To this end, we conduct theoretical and experimental research on the foundations of quantum physics and the physics of quantum information and develop new quantum technologies.

We are used to the fact that events are sharply localised in time. In a cuckoo clock, the cuckoo always calls at a precise time. Everybody looking at the clock would agree on this. However, a team of physicists led by Caslav Brukner from the University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Sciences...

Tanja Traxler, well-established science journalist with a background in physics, addresses the hot topic of female underrepresentation in physics in a fresh way, including a glimpse on its reasons and consequences and historical examples on how gender bias permeates all genders.

Physicists of IQOQI-Vienna show that there is a large number of entangled states in quantum physics that cannot be detected by conventional methods. Their results are published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Quantum physicists from IQOQI-Vienna (Austrian Academy of Sciences) have developed a new method to efficiently confirm the quantum character of a system.

The group of Rupert Ursin at IQOQI is currently looking for motivated master students interested in writing an experimental master thesis.

We present Bits of History, the new history blog of IQOQI-Vienna. Its aim is to popularise the outstanding historical legacy of physics in Vienna, in order to emphasise the connection between the present physics research and its historical roots.
