Researchers unite to distribute quantum keys
Researchers from across Europe have united to build the largest quantum key distribution network ever built.   view more (2009-07-02)

Danish Researchers Break the Limits of the Internet
A team of Danish physicists has taken a crucial step towards an Internet that is faster and more secure than what we know today. The researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have created an atomic memory that, in time, will be able to break the limits for Internet communication. The team's breakthrough was... view more... (2004-11-26)

Quantum information now readable
Chalmers researchers in Sweden, in an EU project involving colleagues from France, Holland, Germany, Italy and Finland, have shown that outdata from superconductor quantum computers can be read directly, even though the signal consists only of the presence or absence of two electrons, a so-called Cooper pair. How far away are we from a functional... view more... (2002-04-08)

Manipulating light on a chip for quantum technologies
A team of physicists and engineers at Bristol University has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards long-sought-after quantum technologies, including super-powerful quantum computers and ultra-precise measurements.    view more (2009-06-09)

Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields.   view more (2007-11-02)

True randomness upon request
The number of applications requiring random numbers increases continuously. They are used for example in cryptographic applications to guarantee the secrecy of electronic communications, in scientific calculations or in chance games and lotteries. In spite of this, their generation remains a difficult task. The Group of Applied Physics and the... view more... (2004-03-17)

The future of computing -- carbon nanotubes and superconductors to replace the silicon chip
The future of computing is under the spotlight at the Institute of Physics' Condensed Matter and Materials Physics conference at the Royal Holloway College of the University of London on 26-28 March.   view more (2008-03-28)

Rutgers researchers 'rewrite the book' in quantum statistical physics
An important part of the decades-old assumption thought to be essential for quantum statistical physics is being challenged by researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and colleagues in Germany and Italy.   view more (2006-02-10)

Press invite: 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors
A laser-based system that could revolutionise both medical imaging and communications, progress towards building the first solid state `quantum` computer and developments in nanotechnology are just some the topics being featured at the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors. The five-day conference is being organised by the... view more... (2002-07-10)

Building a better qubit
Exploiting quantum mechanics for transmitting information is a tantalizing possibility because it promises secure, high speed communications.   view more (2009-10-06)

US computing giant take record level of interns from University of Kent
Silicon Valley computing giant Sun Microsystems have announced plans to offer a record number of their intern placements to students from the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC). The intern scheme was established in 2000 and initially designed to accommodate six people. The scheme was developed for twenty people in 2001 and will see further... view more... (2002-03-13)

UCSB researchers make milestone discovery in quantum mechanics
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have recently reached what they are calling a milestone in experimental quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-08-06)

Fermions do not travel together, theory proved
Fermions tend to avoid each other and cannot "travel" in close proximity. Demonstrated by a team at the Institut d'optique (CNRS/Université Paris 11, Orsay-Palaiseau), this result is described in detail in the January 25, 2007 issue of Nature. It marks a major advance in our understanding of phenomena at a quantum scale.   view more (2007-03-12)

New middleware emphasises security and useability
A new middleware package which will take grid computing out of research laboratories and into industry will be pre-released on 25 October. The middleware is the first to be released by the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (OMII), whose mission is to become the UK source for reliable, open-source Grid Middleware.   view more (2004-10-22)

Toward a quantum computer, one dot at a time
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed a way to create semiconductor islands smaller than 10 nanometers in scale, known as quantum dots.   view more (2006-01-20)

Diamonds may be the ultimate MRI probe, say Quantum physicists
Diamonds, it has long been said, are a girl's best friend. But a research team including a physicist from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently found that the gems might turn out to be a patient's best friend as well.   view more (2009-09-23)

NRC team uses new Quantum Technology to control molecules
A research team at the National Research Council Canada (Ottawa) has developed a new quantum technology which uses laser pulses to control quantum processes.   view more (2006-10-13)

New device from CU physicist tests uncertainty principle to unprecedented level — and shows that looks can cool
In the submicroscopic world - the domain of elementary particles and individual atoms - things behave in the strange, counter-intuitive fashion governed by the principles of quantum mechanics.   view more (2006-09-25)

ESF to launch eight more scientific programmes
