Build an advanced Euro­pean quan­tum inter­net ecosys­tem

“The Quantum Internet Alliance has started a seven-year program to build an innovative Quantum Internet ecosystem in Europe. The first phase has a budget of 24 million euros. The research groups led by Tracy Northup and Benjamin Lanyon at the …

Boost­ing the sin­gle pho­ton rate for quan­tum com­mu­ni­ca­tion

“A new experiment performed at the University of Innsbruck in collaboration with researchers from Bayreuth, Dortmund, Münster, and Linz allows to double the information transfer rate in future quantum communication systems with the SUPER method. All over the world, physicists …

Premiere for super­con­duct­ing diode with­out exter­nal mag­netic field

“Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international research team involving the theoretical physicist Mathias Scheurer have now succeeded in reaching a …

Repro­ducibil­ity is the best pre­dic­tor of gen­er­al­iz­abil­ity

“An international team of researchers was recently able to show that research results from the field of strategic management in some cases generalizes to new time periods and new geographies. The decisive criterion for this is the reproducibility of a …

Quan­tum com­puter works with more than zero and one

“For decades computers have been synonymous with binary information – zeros and ones. Now a team at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, realized a quantum computer that breaks out of this paradigm and unlocks additional computational resources, hidden in almost all …

Error-Free Quan­tum Com­put­ing Gets Real

“For quantum computers to be useful in practice, errors must be detected and corrected. At the University of Innsbruck, Austria, a team of experimental physicists has now implemented a universal set of computational operations on fault-tolerant quantum bits for the …

When quan­tum par­ti­cles fly like bees

“A quantum system consisting of only 51 charged atoms can assume more than two quadrillion different states. Calculating the system’s behavior is a piece of cake for a quantum simulator. A research team from the University of Innsbruck and …

Super­solids go cir­cu­lar 2D

“In a new study, investigations led by Francesca Ferlaino and Russell Bisset show how to cool an atomic gas into a supersolid with a circular, 2D shape. The method will allow researchers to further study these exotic states of matter …

Glim­pse inside a gra­phene sand­wich

“In the search for novel types of superconductors – phases of matter that that conduct electric current without loss – scientists are investigating materials that consist of multiple layers. A team led by theoretical physicist Mathias Scheurer has studied in detail the …

Micro­cavities as a sensor plat­form

“Sensors are a pillar of the Internet of Things, providing the data to control all sorts of objects. Here, precision is essential, and this is where quantum technologies could make a difference. Researchers in Innsbruck and Zurich are now demonstrating …
