A new material for light-matter interactions

EPFL scientists have coupled a new material with light at the level of a single photon. The achievement opens up prospects for better controlling and understanding the properties of quantum-correlated systems, where theoretical calculations are […]

Startup of the Month: Menhir Photonics

We met Florian Emaury, CEO of Menhir Photonics, in March 2020. Menhir Photonics is a Swiss company developing unique ultrafast lasers and photonics solutions. This young but smart CEO has a nice vision of photonics […]

Adding noise for ultimate privacy protection in QKD

A team of physicists of the University of Basel and ETH Zurich have developed the theoretical foundations for a QKD communication protocol that offers ultimate privacy protection and can be implemented experimentally. This protocol guarantees […]

Quantum Legendre-Fenchel Transform

Researchers at EPFL and IBM Quantum present a quantum algorithm to compute the discrete Legendre-Fenchel Transform (LFT). Most currently known quantum algorithms use a few basic building blocks as subroutines. Examples of these building blocks […]

A surprising quantum effect observed in a “large” object

While conducting experiments on a layered metal, EPFL researchers witnessed something very surprising. The unexpected electron behavior they discovered could open up possibilities in the field of quantum computing. In the world of materials science, […]

ID Quantique launches two QRNG PCIe cards

ID Quantique (IDQ) has announced it adds two high throughput QRNG PCIe cards to its Quantis product family. They use ID Quantique’s latest QRNG technology to provide 40Mbps and 240Mbps entropy data rates and integrate […]
