One Year After The Nobel Prize
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.

astrophysical evidence for dark matter, image (c) NASA

Congratulations to Gerard Higgins, who has been awarded one of the prestigious ERC Starting Grants to explore the nature of Dark Matter—an elusive substance that makes up 85% of the Universe's mass but remains one of physics' greatest mysteries! Dark matter may be passing through our laboratories on…

Quantum physics in the historical environment of Boltzmanngasse 3.

The Simons Science School in Chemistry and Physics was a one-week program for Ukrainian high school students who have excelled at science competitions. The agenda also included a visit to IQOQI-Vienna.

More than 450 young explorers arrived at the Austrian Academy of Sciences on the Children's University Day 2024.

Around 3,000 visitors attended the Long Night of Research at the Campus Akademie of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, where IQOQI Vienna was also stationed.

IQOQI Vienna organized a public lecture at the Vienna City Hall, featuring world-renowned physicist Carlo Rovelli. The event unveiled the mysteries of White Holes, delivering a captivating exploration of cosmic phenomena.
