IQOQI

In the quantum laboratory...
...we ask Nature questions
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.

Der neue Präsident der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften war am Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation der Akademie in Wien zu Gast.

After his term of almost ten years as president of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Anton Zeilinger is back to physics! Off to a flying start with new ideas and projects, he is more than ready to now give his full attention to the love of his life (... academic life, that is!), the foundations of…

Do my toys come alive when nobody is looking at them?

Dear Colleagues,

As researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna (IQOQI-Vienna), Austria, we would like to draw your attention to the opening of two types of grants for scientists from Ukraine:

JESH-Ukraine Emergency Call of the Austrian Academy of Sciences,

The ‘Wigner’s friend’ thought experiment illustrates the puzzling nature of quantum measurement. Časlav Brukner discusses how recent results suggest that in quantum theory the objectivity of measurement outcomes is relative to observation and observer.

Glass nanoparticles show unexpected coupling when levitated with laser light.
