An international team of researchers from IQOQI-Vienna (Austrian Academy of Sciences) and the University of Vienna established a quantum encrypted connection between Sicily and Malta via a submarine cable. The record distance of 192 kilometres was a…

Marcus Huber, group leader at IQOQI-Vienna, contributed with theoretical analysis to an experiment of researchers from the University of Bristol. The result is an important preliminary step towards a future quantum communication.

Markus Müller, group leader at IQOQI-Vienna, is awarded the Best Paper Award of the Anniversary Fund of the City of Vienna for the Austrian Academy of Sciences

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the University of Vienna and the University of Geneva, have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical…

Physicists of all fields and physics students are invited to join the award ceremony on the 4th of December, followed by a talk by the authors and refreshments.

An international team of researchers from IQOQI-Vienna shows how to use entanglement for long-distance or free-space quantum communication outside of a protected laboratory environment, by making it resistant to environmental noise.

The theory of general relativity allows for time travel to the past: according to the theory, a particle can collide with its younger self. It is still uncertain if time travel to the past is actually physically possible, but a team of researchers…

IQOQI-Vienna and the Max Planck Research Group “Historical Epistemology of the Final Theory Program” at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) in Berlin are organizing a series of symposia on the history for physics, aiming at…

The Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Award for Quantum Foundations recognizes outstanding and influential research contributions to the foundations of quantum physics. The award aims to raise awareness on the relevance of the field of quantum foundations in…

IQOQI-Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for History of Science (MPIWG) in Berlin are organizing a series of symposia on the history for physics, aiming at demonstrating the importance of the history of physics for current research in physics…
