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, […]
