French CEA-Leti to build Quantum-Photonics platform

French CEA-Leti has just announced the setup of a Quantum-Photonics Platform to ensure ultra-secure data for Finance, Energy, Defense and other industries. The Project will aim to build demonstrators for transmitting and receiving qubits and […]

Optical wiring for large quantum computers

Researchers at ETH have demonstrated a new technique for carrying out sensitive quantum operations on atoms. In this technique, the control laser light is delivered directly inside a chip. This should make it possible to […]

Particles might break the speed of light

Recent experiments show that particles should be able to go faster than light when they quantum mechanically “tunnel” through walls. QuantaMagazine has just published a very amazing article about tunneling effect and its consequences. Some […]

Ultrafast Oscillation of Light Waves Unveiled in Plasma Spark

A German-Canadian collaboration, with physicists from the attoworld-team of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, and the Joint Attosecond Science Laboratory of the National Research Council and the University of Ottawa, […]

CERN meets quantum technology

The CERN Quantum Technology Initiative (QTI), which was announced in June, sees CERN join a rapidly-growing global effort to bring about a “second quantum revolution” – whereby phenomena such as superposition and entanglement, which enable an […]

Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland 2020

The Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland (QIDiS) is a major European and Swiss event which gathers industrial R&D, academics and investors to foster exchange and accelerate the development of new quantum products. As you probably know if you read Swiss Quantum Hub […]

Two EPFL scientists win quantum research grants

This year, the US Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate, the Griffiss Institute, Oneida County, and State University of New York formed a partnership named Innovare Advancement Center. As part of its launch, Innovare hosted a global quantum-focused pitch competition under the title […]

A 8.5 GHz Quantum Analyzer by Zurich Instruments

The Swiss company Zurich Instruments has just introduced its SHFQA Quantum Analyzer that operates at up to 8.5 GHz and can thus perform direct readout of superconducting and spin qubits. Conceived as the next generation […]

New mobile banking service based on QKD

A mobile banking app based on SK Telecom’s 5G quantum cryptography technology will be introduced at a South Korean bank. Personal information will be thoroughly protected when customers transfer money or going through identity verification […]

Quantum computing enhanced computational catalysis

The quantum computation of electronic energies can break the curse of dimensionality that plagues many-particle quantum mechanics. It is for this reason that a universal quantum computer has the potential to fundamentally change computational chemistry […]

Miraex as finalist of the NASA Challenge

Miraex, together with top-notch partners Aperio Global and IBM, has been selected among the 15 finalists for the NASA Science Mission Directorate “Entrepreneurs Challenge”. Miraex, a Swiss startup located in Lausanne and spinoff of EPFL, is one of the few […]
