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!

On May 31, 2023, Nobel Laureate Anton Zeilinger took his audience at the Vienna City Hall on 'A Voyage Through Quantum Wonderland'.

The Vice-President of the Austrian Academy of Sciences visited the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna.

Scientists at the Austrian Academy of Sciences have taken the development of uncrackable quantum encryption methods another step further. Entangled photon pairs were used to exchange a quantum key between IQOQI-Vienna and a receiving station in the Bisamberg hills beyond Vienna. For the first time…

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.
