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…

Marcus Huber, group leader at IQOQI-Vienna, contributed with theoretical analysis to an experiment of researchers from the University of Bristol. The result is an important preliminary step towards a future quantum communication.

Markus Müller, group leader at IQOQI-Vienna, is awarded the Best Paper Award of the Anniversary Fund of the City of Vienna for the Austrian Academy of Sciences

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the University of Vienna and the University of Geneva, have proposed a new interpretation of classical physics without real numbers. This new study challenges the traditional view of classical…

Physicists of all fields and physics students are invited to join the award ceremony on the 4th of December, followed by a talk by the authors and refreshments.

An international team of researchers from IQOQI-Vienna shows how to use entanglement for long-distance or free-space quantum communication outside of a protected laboratory environment, by making it resistant to environmental noise.

The theory of general relativity allows for time travel to the past: according to the theory, a particle can collide with its younger self. It is still uncertain if time travel to the past is actually physically possible, but a team of researchers…
