Nobel Prize in Physics for Anton Zeilinger
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.

The UK-based media production company Open Citadel is producing a documentary about the Quantum Information Structure of Spacetime (QISS) project. Several researchers from IQOQI Vienna will be featured including Marios Christodoulou, Markus Aspelmeyer and Caslav Brukner.

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics goes to Alain Aspect, John F. Clauser and Anton Zeilinger “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science”. The whole IQOQI team congratulates the laureates!

Hooray for quantA! The new Cluster of Excellence ‘Quantum Science Austria’ has been approved by the Austrian Science Fund FWF and was presented today in Vienna.

On March 6, IQOQI Vienna visited Ars Electronica in Linz.

Physicists at IQOQI Vienna and the University of Vienna were able to reverse the temporal evolution of a single photon using a universal rewinding protocol.

On January 25, 2023, Anton Zeilinger repeated his nobel lecture and took the audience on "A Voyage through Quantum Wonderland"
