IQOQI

One Year After The Nobel Prize
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.

Congratulations to Gerard Higgins, who has been awarded one of the prestigious ERC Starting Grants to explore the nature of Dark Matter—an elusive substance that makes up 85% of the Universe's mass but remains one of physics' greatest mysteries! Dark matter may be passing through our laboratories on…

More than 450 young explorers arrived at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on the Children's University Day 2024.

Around 3,000 visitors attended the Long Night of Research at the Campus Akademie of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, where IQOQI Vienna was also stationed.

IQOQI Vienna organized a public lecture at the Vienna City Hall, featuring world-renowned physicist Carlo Rovelli. The event unveiled the mysteries of White Holes, delivering a captivating exploration of cosmic phenomena.

Twelve projects were selected for funding in the last application round of the FFG (Austrian Research Promotion Agency) Spin-Off Fellowships and IQOQI Vienna participates with QuantumGain.

Scientists at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and TU Wien successfully demonstrated this during a flight on a commercial airliner in cooperation with the European Space Agency. Their setup for distributing and detecting entangled photons was sturdy enough to withstand even changing accelerations,…
