Secure quantum communication at high rates for future satellite links

Researchers from IQOQI-Vienna (Austrian Academy of Sciences) in the groups of Rupert Ursin and Anton Zeilinger increase the rate of quantum communication over long-distance free-space links, paving the way towards global quantum communication via…

Error protected quantum bits entangled

For the first time, physicists from IQOQI-Vienna and Innsbruck have entangled two quantum bits distributed over several quantum objects and successfully transmitted their quantum properties. This marks an important milestone in the development of…

INFORMATION TRANSFER IN QUANTUM COMMUNICATION IMPROVED

An international research group including quantum physicists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Scottish Heriot-Watt University has succeeded in producing and verifying high-dimensional entanglements in systems of two photons. This enables…

Borrowed time: researchers fast-forward and rewind quantum systems

Under certain conditions, the evolution of a quantum system can be rewound or fast-forwarded in time at will. Theoretical physicists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences illustrate how in their new paper, published in the scientific journal…

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 2020 PAUL EHRENFEST BEST PAPER AWARD FOR QUANTUM FOUNDATIONS

The Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Award for Quantum Foundations recognizes outstanding and influential research contributions to the foundations of quantum physics. We are proud to announce the paper winner of this year.

Assistant professorship for Marcus Huber at the Atominstitut (TU Wien)

We congratulate Marcus Huber, group leader at IQOQI-Vienna, for his new position as Assistant Professor at the Technische Universität. He and his group just began their research activities at the Atominstitut of the TU this week, but they will also…

Quantum physicists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences among the most cited researchers

The 2020 list of the world's most cited researchers includes Markus Aspelmeyer and Anton Zeilinger, group leaders at IQOQI-Vienna and the University of Vienna.

13 million euros for basic quantum research

The Austrian-based quantum physicists Oriol Romero-Isart and Markus Aspelmeyer, director of IQOQI-Vienna, together with Lukas Novotny and Romain Quidant from ETH Zurich, will receive one of the prestigious ERC Synergy Grants. Together they want to…

Overlapping paths: a new method for producing entangled photon pairs

Quantum physicists of IQOQI-Vienna and the University of Vienna present in the journal PNAS a new method to produce high-dimensionally entangled photon pairs. These systems can be the base for robust communication protocols that offer high throughput…
