Now Open: The 2020 Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Selection

Nominations and self-nominations are now open for the present call of the Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper award for Quantum Foundations, that recognizes outstanding and influential research contributions to the foundations of quantum physics.

Quantum times: when did the cuckoo sing?

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…

Quantum physics: entanglement is more intractable than expected

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.

RESEARCHERS CAN EFFICIENTLY IDENTIFY QUANTUM PROPERTIES

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

New IQOQI-Vienna blog "Bits of history"

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.

Quantum certified - a communication task to test non-classicality

Researchers of IQOQI-Vienna and the University of Vienna propose a "coherence equality" to certify quantum superpositions without an interferometer.

Max Fochler - How (not) to think about the impact of basic science on society

Max Fochler writes for Vienna Quantum Café on the impact of basic science on society. Max Fochler is associate professor at the Department of Science and Technology Studies at the University of Vienna and member of the Research Platform Responsible…

A new strategy for quantum communication

Researchers from IQOQI Vienna propose a new strategy for quantum communication, paving the road for a new class of semi-device-independent protocols that do not assume a priori the validity of quantum mechanics

WORKSHOP "ENTANGLEMENT QUANTIFICATION IN COLD GASES"

The workshop will take place from 3 -6 February at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna
