TELEFÓNICA, HUAWEI AND THE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY OF MADRID CARRIED OUT A PIONEERING EXPERIENCE WORLDWIDE IMPLEMENTATION OF QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY IN COMMERCIAL OPTICAL NETWORKS FOR SECURE COMMUNICATIONS Spain has experienced for the first time successfully networking of quantum cryptography in commercial optical networks through SDN (Software Defined Networking), technologies that facilitate the implementation of a flexible, dynamic…… Continue reading Spain, world pioneer in quantum cryptography

Governments and multinationals are investing large amounts of money in the construction of the quantum computer; Today IBM and Google are the most advanced in this direction. These computers can perform quantum simulation to model complex chemical reactions, or design new drugs, operations that are beyond the reach of the most powerful binary computers. But…… Continue reading Polynomials against quantum computers

The work could be applied in the design of thermometers for small quantum devices at low temperatures. The next great revolution in data processing goes through quantum physics, that part of physics that studies how the smallest elements, such as atoms and quarks, behave. However, scientists have not yet come up with all the keys…… Continue reading Mathematics to improve the efficiency and design of quantum machines

El descubrimiento abre la puerta al desarrollo de tecnologías cuánticas resistentes a la temperatura Investigadores de la Universidad Complutense, IBM, ETH Zurich, MIT y de la Universidad de Harvard han realizado la primera simulación cuántica de fases topológicas de la materia con temperatura. Este resultado supone un rayo de luz para el desarrollo de tecnologías…… Continue reading Observadas nuevas fases topológicas térmicas de la materia cuántica

A quantum simulation of topological phases of matter at finite temperature has be realised for the first time by a group of researchers from Universidad Complutense, IBM, ETH Zurich, MIT and Harvard University. These findings open the door to unexpected applications in robust quantum technologies against thermal fluctuations such as quantum computers or memories. For…… Continue reading Novel thermal phases of topological quantum matter in the lab

Experimental physicist Rainer Blatt, Research Director of IQOQI has carried out trail-blazing experiments in the fields of precision spectroscopy, quantum metrology and quantum information processing. He works with atoms caught in ion traps which he manipulates using laser beams. This work is based on suggestions made in the mid 1990s by theorists Ignacio Cirac and…… Continue reading Interview to Prof. Rainer Blatt Research Director of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), Innsbruck, Austria

Scientists from the ALPHA experiment at the European Particle Physics Laboratory (CERN) have taken the most accurate measurement of antimatter recorded to date. The advance has been achieved with about 15,000 atoms of antihydrogens magnetically trapped in a cylinder. One of the challenges physicists face is to explain why matter survived antimatter after the Big…… Continue reading The best measure of antimatter
