PAUL EHRENFEST BEST PAPER AWARD 2022

News

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!

(SEPTEMBER 11TH-13TH, 2023)

ORGANIZERS: VALERIO SCARANI AND MIGUEL NAVASCUÉS

We are announcing the 2023 Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Award for Quantum Foundations and are looking forward to receiving your nominations until September 30, 2023.

On June 30, IQOQI Vienna visited Ars Electronica in Linz for the premiere of 'Homodyne'

Anton Zeilinger is now officially a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. On 6 June 2023, former CAS president Chunli Bai presented Anton Zeilinger with the award certificate during a brief meeting at Vienna Airport.

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