Max Fochler writes for Vienna Quantum Café on the impact of basic science on society. Max Fochler is associate professor at the Department of Science and Technology Studies at the University of Vienna and member of the Research Platform Responsible…

"Bell’s theorem for temporal order" by Časlav Brukner, group leader at IQOQI-Vienna and the University of Vienna, together with his alumni, Magdalena Zych, Fabio Costa and Igor Pikovski, is one of the top 50 read Nature Communications physics…

Researchers from IQOQI Vienna propose a new strategy for quantum communication, paving the road for a new class of semi-device-independent protocols that do not assume a priori the validity of quantum mechanics

The workshop will take place from 3 -6 February at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna

Researchers in Austria use lasers to levitate and cool a glass nanoparticle into the quantum regime. Although it is trapped in a room temperature environment, the particle’s motion is solely governed by the laws of quantum physics. The team of…

The complex manipulation of quantum systems is one of the most important tasks for quantum information technologies. A team of researchers from Austria, Finland and Canada has now successfully demonstrated that advanced manipulation of…

One of the cornerstones of modern academic research is the system by which funds are distributed to carry it forward. Currently, the allocation of funds within academia requires individual scientists or teams thereof to write research proposals that…

Two Austrian researchers have developed a novel method with which computer programs can efficiently process the knowledge from hundreds of thousands of publications. With the help of artificial intelligence, it is thereby possible to generate…

Researchers at IQOQI-Vienna explore in a new study the concept of measurement in quantum mechanics from a thermodynamic perspective. In their paper, just published on the open-access journal Quantum, they show that good measurements require large…

An international team of researchers from IQOQI-Vienna (Austrian Academy of Sciences) and the University of Vienna established a quantum encrypted connection between Sicily and Malta via a submarine cable. The record distance of 192 kilometres was a…
