World Quantum Day on April 14th

The World Quantum Day aims at promoting the public understanding of Quantum Science and Technology around the World. It is a decentralized and bottom-up initiative inviting all quantum scientists, engineers, educators, communicators, entrepreneurs, technologists, and their organizations to celebrate the World Quantum Day at a global scale. The first event is a talk for the general public: From Einstein to Wheeler: Wave-Particle duality of a single photon, by Alain Aspect.

Advances in research

Scientists at the University of Stuttgart develop a quantum computer demonstrator with several hundred qubits based on Rydberg atoms. Prof. Montangero, QTech Center Vice Director, will be in charge of the benchmarking of the quantum computer results with highly challenging simulations performed on classical supercomputers .
