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.

Im aktuellen GEO Magazin wird unter anderem Caslav Brukner vom IQOQI Wien zum Thema Quantenphysik und Realität interviewt

Researchers of the Navascués group at IQOQI Vienna have developed a mathematical framework to reason about adaptive protocols in quantum information theory. When they applied their theory to study entanglement detection, they found that the methods traditionally used to detect entanglement in the…

One of the most fundamental features of quantum physics is Bell nonlocality: the fact that the predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be explained by any local (classical) theory. This has remarkable conceptual consequences and far-reaching applications in quantum information. However, in our…

Quantum coherence only persists for isolated particles – but whether a particle is isolated depends on the way we look at it. This leads to an apparent “paradox of the third particle”: coherence seems to disappear simply by changing the description. Researchers from IQOQI Vienna and Japan’s Okinawa…

Physicists at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have been successful in their experiments creating the world’s first photonic quantum teleportation into error corrected qubits useful for quantum computers.
