Welcome Johannes! He is joining us for his master's project. He will work with the Phinet team on integrating a microwave source into the setup for driving qubit rotations.

Quantum computer works with more than zero and one

Details: Published: Friday, 29 July 2022

For decades computers have been synonymous with binary information – zeros and ones. Now a team at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, realized a quantum computer that breaks out of this paradigm and unlocks additional computational resources, hidden in almost all of today’s quantum devices.

When quantum particles fly like bees

Details: Published: Monday, 11 July 2022

A quantum system consisting of only 51 charged atoms can assume more than two quadrillion different states. Calculating the system's behavior is a piece of cake for a quantum simulator. A research team from the University of Innsbruck and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now shown how these systems can be described using equations from the 18th century.
