A PIC for certification of genuine energy-time and time-bin entanglement
A photonic integrated circuit for post-selection-loophole free energy-time and time bin entanglement certification, stemming from the collaboration between INFN and the Univerisities of Padua, Linköpings and Sevilla was recently presented on Optica. To close, for the first time, this loophole on an integrated platforms brings entanglement-based technologies one step closer !
Quantum Engineering Workshop 2023
On May 25th, the quantum engineering workshop (supported by ASME, JAVS, and Center for Autonomous Systems and Technologies Caltech) will bring engineering and physics experts together to explore the interface of classical engineering (such as mechatronics, instrumentation and robotic technologies) and quantum mechanics (such as the applications of quantum entanglement, cryptography, and teleportation).
Seminar: Restoring Quantum Communication Efficiency over High Loss Optical Fibers

A Nobel for research in quantum information science
The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded jointly to A. Aspect, J. F. Clauser and A. Zeilinger for "experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science". Our congratulations go in particular to Prof. Zeilinger who collaborated with a team coordinated by Prof. Villoresi, our director, to perform the first demonstration of quantum communication in space.

QuOCS presentation
QuOCS - the Quantum Optimal Control Suite is a novel software suite designed to swiftly connect to experiments as well as simulations, uniting efficient methods for both cases. The suite will be introduced on Tuesday, March 29th from 10 am to 11:30 am CET . A brief introduction to quantum optimal control and a presentation of applications from the fields of Rydberg atoms and NMR will also be given. Join the talk through Zoom using this link.
