The three Austrian scientists received the Micius Prize in Hefei, China. The prize, awarded for the first time, is for outstanding research in quantum physics.

Matej Pivoluska, member of the Institute of Physics at Slovak Academy of Sciences and former PostDoc at IQOQI-Vienna, has been awarded a prize for top scientific publications for the paper "Measurements in two bases are sufficient for certifying…

Senior Group Leader Rupert Ursin brainstormed with artists on how to deal with quantum physics in art. The result can be seen at the Ars Electronica Festival 2019 “Quantum Logos”, presented by the collective: media artist duo Mark CHAVEZ and Ina…

The theories of quantum mechanics and gravity are notorious for being incompatible, despite the efforts of scores of physicists over the past fifty years. However, recently an international team of researchers led by physicists from the University of…

Researchers from IQOQI-Vienna working in the group of Anton Zeilinger, together with collaborators in China, have succeeded in teleporting three-dimensional quantum states for the first time. High-dimensional teleportation could play an important…

In a new article published in the Physical Review Letters, IQOQI-Vienna Group Leader Markus Müller and Matteo Lostaglio from ICFO Barcelona have shown that quantum coherence, an important resource for quantum technologies, cannot be indefinitely…

In an article just published in the Nature Partner Journal Quantum Information, Ilya Kull, Philippe Allard Guérin and Časlav Brukner, from IQOQI-Vienna (Austrian Academy of Sciences) and the University of Vienna, explore the consequences of locality…

The Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) Vienna of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) has a new director: Markus Aspelmeyer.

One of the essential features required for the realization of a quantum computer is quantum entanglement. A team of IQOQI-Vienna associated researchers, from the University of Vienna and the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), introduces a novel…
