New ERC grant – using mercury to explain the universe
Simon Stellmer has been awarded a prestigious ERC Starting Grant. He will now use ultracold mercury atoms to investigate fundamental symmetries in nature. Mehr
Neutrons for Science and Technology
This brochure of ENSA, the European Neutron Scattering Association, highlights some typical work from the academic and industrial user communities that has been chosen to illustrate the scope and potential of neutrons. Mehr
Testing Quantum Field Theory in a Quantum Simulator
A new way to characterize many-particle quantum systems has been presented in the journal “Nature” by TU Wien (Vienna) and Heidelberg University. Quantum simulators can now be used to take a deeper look at previously unanswered questions. Mehr
Forschungsreaktoren: Auch der Abbau kostet Geld
TU Wien, Slovak University of Technology und IAEO entwickeln gemeinsam eine Software, mit der man die tatsächlichen Kosten des Abbaus eines nuklearen Forschungsreaktors berechnen kann. Mehr
Quantum Communication: How to Outwit Noise
How to reliably transfer quantum information when the connecting channels are impacted by detrimental noise? Scientists at the University of Innsbruck and TU Wien (Vienna) have presented new solutions to this problem. Mehr
Diamonds coupled using quantum physics
Atomic defects in diamonds can be used as quantum memories. Researchers at TU Wien for the first time have succeeded in coupling the defects in various diamonds using quantum physics. Mehr
Chiral Quantum Optics: A New Research Field with Bright Perspectives
Surprising direction-dependent effects emerge when light is guided in microscopic structures. This discovery shows promise for both classical and quantum information processing Mehr
"Weak Measurement" with strong results
At TU Wien, a new method was developed allowing for quick and precise measurement of quantum states. Mehr
A Nano-Roundabout for Light
At TU Wien, it was possible to create a nanoscale optical element that regulates the flow of light particles at the intersection of two glass fibers like a roundabout. A single atom was used to control the light paths. Mehr
