From switching quantum times to a new perspective on the `wave function of the universe’

Dr. Philipp Höhn, researcher at IQOQI-Vienna, has introduced a new approach to quantum reference frames in quantum cosmology, to solve puzzles related to the reconciliation of quantum physics with general relativity. The article was published as a…

Quantum entropy without randomness

In an article just published in Physical Review Letters, IQOQI Group Leader Markus Müller and collaborators from the Free University of Berlin and ETH Zurich have pioneered a new approach to the von Neumann entropy, one of the most important concepts…

Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry on a biphoton beat note

The ability to control the spectral and spatial properties of photons and harness non-classical phenomena such as interference, has led to remarkable progress in quantum theory and has enabled quantum information processing to reach for first…

On the quantum nature of gravity

Alessio Belenchia, Flaminia Giacomini, Esteban Castro-Ruiz, Časlav Brukner, and Markus Aspelmeyer, current or ex-members of IQOQI-Vienna, won, together with their co-author Robert M. Wald (Enrico Fermi Institute), the first prize for the Gravity…

The IQOQI-Vienna group leader and president of the ÖAW Anton Zeilinger received the Micius Prize together with his former doctoral student at the University of Vienna, Jian-Wei Pan, who now works at the University of Science and Technology of China…

Rethinking Academia: The scientific publishing system and the strive for open accessibility

Young scientists of IQOQI-Vienna and the University of Vienna are organizing an event aimed at discussing future perspectives of the scientific publishing system and present concrete alternatives to its current structure.

"Rethinking Academia" featured in "Der Standard"

The Austrian newspaper "Der Standard" dedicates an article on the issues of the scientific publishing system, based on our event "Rethinking Academia".

Prestigious Chinese science award goes to five Academy members

The quantum physicists Rainer Blatt, Anton Zeilinger and Peter Zoller, as well as Juan Ignacio Cirac and Jian-Wei Pan, will all receive the Micius Prize, which is being awarded for the first time this year.

Researching research: double feature

Current grant schemes, demanding five-year projects and a clear methodology, are unsuitable to fund theoretical research. In their paper, Miguel Navascués (IQOQI) and Costantino Budroni (IQOQI and University of Vienna) propose a research funding…
