Welcome Dominik Kiesenhofer!
Domink has joined the team of SPICY. He got his masters's degree in biophysics from the TU Vienna for simulations on a single-molecule spectroscopy technique. In Innsbruck, he will work as PhD student at the new experiment SPICY, which aims at realising a two-dimensional quantum simulator with full quantum control of 100 particles. 


Entangled atoms shine in unison

A team led by experimental physicist Rainer Blatt has succeeded in characterizing the quantum entanglement of two spatially separated atoms by observing their light emission. This fundamental demonstration could lead to the development of highly sensitive optical gradiometers for the precise measurement of the gravitational field or the earth's magnetic field.

Published: Tuesday, 10 April 2018

In an experiment realized in our laboratories at IQOQI Innsbruck, and in collaborations with scientists from Vienna and Ulm, we have demonstrated the largest entangled quantum register of individually controllable systems to date, consisting of a total of 20 quantum bits.

We work with a variety of lasers in our lab. An important tool to keep ourselves save in the lab are the laser saftey goggles. These are however only each rated for certain wavelengths and powers.

To choose the right goggle for the right laser, we now have an online calculator available.
