Exactly 10 years ago, the Large Hadron Collider – CERN’s flagship accelerator – embarked on its high-energy voyage. If you want to know more about this celebration, please visit the CERN’s website page. Kudos to […]
We, Swiss Quantum Hub (SQH), are pleased to announce we have joined the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Activate program. AWS Activate program will provide the startups in our accelerator with low cost, easy-to-use infrastructure needed […]
The IBM Quantum competition is part of IBM’s commitment to realize the ground-breaking potential of quantum computing, and cultivate “an educated and motivated network of researchers, educators, students, programmers and businesses.” Beginning in 2018, the “IBM Q” […]
Researchers of the University of Basel have developed a new method with which individual isolated molecules can be studied precisely, without destroying the molecule or even influencing its quantum state. Spectroscopic analyses are based on […]
Researchers from ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute has developed a way to build an all-electric magnetic logic gate. The work builds on the idea of magnetic racetrack memory, in which wires are moved […]
The Time and Frequency Laboratory of the University of Neuchâtel is working on a new generation of atomic clocks, in collaboration with the European Space Agency. Time holds almost no secrets for scientists at the […]
Physicists at ETH Zurich have demonstrated a five-meter-long microwave quantum link, the longest of its kind to date. It can be used both for future quantum computer networks and for experiments in basic quantum physics […]
Cambridge Quantum Computing announced a collaboration with CERN Openlab, named the QUATERNION project, in quantum computing.
ID Quantique integrates with the Fortinet Security Fabric to provide long-term security for critical data transported over Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
Massive-scale particle physics produces correspondingly large amounts of data and this is particularly true of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, which is housed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research […]
The ALPHA collaboration at CERN has reported the first measurements of certain quantum effects in the energy structure of antihydrogen, the antimatter counterpart of hydrogen. These quantum effects are known to exist in matter, and […]
Researchers at ETH Zurich have joined forces to develop a novel light detector which consists of two-dimensional layers of different materials that are coupled to a silicon optical waveguide. This extremely fast and sensitive light […]
Physicists from EPFL, Switzerland and University of Bremen have unveiled fingerprints of the long-sought particle known as Mahan exciton in the room temperature optical response of the popular methylammonium lead halide perovskites. The optical properties […]
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 […]
ID Quantique (IDQ), the Swiss quantum company leader in quantum-safe security and quantum sensing, announced the launch of the ID Qube Series, a compact and cost-effective series of modules for single-photon detection at telecom wavelengths.
Researchers at ETH Zürich and National University of Singapore have carried out a study investigating whether advantage distillation, a classical cryptography technique that has so far never been successfully implemented, can be applied to device-independent […]
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 […]
The LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) collaboration at CERN has reported an intriguing new result in its quest to test a key principle of the Standard Model called lepton universality. Although not statistically significant, the […]
We are happy to announce that the book, “Quantum Computing: Mastering in 60 minutes“, written by our colleague Franck Franchin, made it to BookAuthority’s Best New Quantum Computing Books. BookAuthority collects and ranks the best books […]
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 […]
A researchers team at EPFL, Switzerland, has experimentally verified the link existing between entanglement and the amount of wave-particle duality in a bipartite quantum system, with superconducting qubits in the IBM Q quantum computer. They […]
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 […]
Wonderful 2019 Christmas and nice holiday season full of quantum dreams!
Swiss Quantum Hub (SQH) is pleased to announce a partnership with Quantonation to help accelerating and funding Swiss quantum startups. As part of this collaboration, Quantonation has a priority access to SQH deal flow and […]
The Department of Physics at the University of Basel heads the new NCCR (National Centre of Competence in Research) SPIN for the development of a silicon-based quantum computer. The aim is to develop an exceptionally […]
