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.

Quantenforscher/innen von ÖAW, Universität Wien und Perimeter-Institut schilderten im Fachmagazin "Physical Review Letters", dass ein grundlegendes Phänomen der Quantenphysik auch bei den schnellsten Quantenteilchen Gültigkeit hat.

A collaboration between Armin Tavakoli - postdoc at IQOQI Vienna - and researchers at French and Swiss research institutions has discovered that entanglement swapping experiments based on a new type of entangled measurement can give rise to a qualitatively different type of quantum nonlocality in…

The semi-device-independent approach to quantum information processing aims to perform tasks in a practically efficient manner while making only small assumptions on the involved quantum devices. In a paper recently published in Physical Review Letters, Armin Tavakoli – postdoc at IQOQI Vienna –…

Quantum mechanics is famous for its indeterminism, but we can usually use probabilities to quantify our uncertainty about future observations. However, a team of researchers at the University of Vienna, the IQOQI Vienna (Austrian Academy of Sciences) and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical…

The characterization and control of quantum effects in the performance of thermodynamic tasks may open new avenues for thermal machines working at small scales.
