A novel formulation to explain heat propagation

Researchers at EPFL and NCCR MARVEL have developed a novel formulation that describes how heat spreads within crystalline materials. This can explain why and under which conditions heat propagation becomes fluid-like rather than diffusive. Their […]

Dotphoton and ESA collaborate on Quantum-inspired image compression

Swiss start-up Dotphoton and the European Space Agency (ESA) have signed a contract to test Dotphoton’s efficient information-preserving image compression technology for use in space applications. Dotphoton’s software provides raw image data compression with guaranteed raw image […]

Unexpected twist in a quantum system

Physicists at ETH Zurich have observed a surprising twist in a quantum system caused by the interplay between energy dissipation and coherent quantum dynamics. To explain it, they found a concrete analogy to mechanics. The […]

Happy New Year 2020!

Quantum is not a destination, it’s a journey. May you enjoy each day of your quantum adventure. Cheers to a bright future. Have a prosperous New Year! Happy New Year 2020 from the Swiss Quantum […]

Indeterminist physics for an open world

Nicolas Gisin, professor emeritus at UNIGE, Switzerland and founder of ID Quantique (impressive track record!)  suggests that the mathematical language spoken by classical physics should be changed to make room for indeterminism and an open […]
