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…

Yelena Guryanova, Ämin Baumeler and Costantino Budroni have been awarded EUR 1.9 million in funding from the FWF to form an interdisciplinary, cross-institutional Young Independent Researcher Group (YIRG).

Markus Müller, group leader at IQOQI, has just published a paper in Physical Review X, titled "Correlating Thermal Machines and the Second Law at the Nanoscale".

Physics picks its favorite stories of 2018....amongst them a project involving IQOQI Vienna researchers around Anton Zeilinger and Rupert Ursin: Quantum Cryptography via Satellite

Nature Reviews Physics just published a paper by Marcus Huber and his group at IQOQI. The short review 'Entanglement certification: from theory to experiment' is an attempt to facilitate communication between theorists and experimentalists. In the…

The 2018 "Essay contest Prize 2018" promoted by the Forum for the History of Physics (FHP) of the American Physical Society (APS) was granted to Flavio Del Santo, Ph.D. student at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information.

In a paper published in Nature, researchers in the group of Rupert Ursin at IQOQI-Vienna, demonstrate a quantum network with four users and the potential to easily incorporate more.

The workshop took place from Monday Dec. 10th to Wednesday Dec. 12th at IQOQI Vienna
