The 2018 Paul Ehrenfest Best Paper Selection Committee is now accepting your nominations.

Physicists and philosophers from IQOQI Vienna/Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Vienna met last Friday to open a possibly long-term interdisciplinary collaboration between philosophers of science and physicists.

Časlav Brukner/IQOQI-Vienna and Philip Walther/University of Vienna published a popular science article on the causality in the quantum world as cover of the current issue of "Spektrum der Wissenschaft".

Have you ever wondered what quantum physicists do?

The winners were chosen from more than 3,200 articles published in 2018 to represent scientific excellence and originality.

Researchers from IQOQI-Vienna and the University of Vienna have found an unexpected connection between quantum experiments and the mathematical tools of Graph Theory. The results are published in the renowned journal Proceedings of the National…

C. Brukner, Ä. Baumeler and C. Budroni, researchers at IQOQI-Vienna, will collaborate with other world-leading scientists in the project "Quantum Information Systems Beyond Classical Capabilities (BeyondC)".

How can the Born rule, connecting the formalism of quantum theory to the measurements, be derived from more fundamental principles? The journal Quanta talks about the work of physicists on this topic - among them Markus Müller, group leader at IQOQI:

According to one of the most fundamental principles in physics, an observer on a moving train uses the same laws to describe a ball on the platform as an observer standing on the platform – physical laws are independent on the choice of a reference…

Quantum computers are more powerful than ordinary computers because they work with coherent “quantum bits” instead of ordinary zeroes and ones. But what if the rules of nature were different from what we believe today - could there be efficient…
