Quantum Industry Day

The Quantum Industry Day connects researchers and companies to explore quantum technology applications in sectors like computing, cryptography, sensors, and imaging. Featuring expert talks, case studies, and networking, it fosters collaboration in this transformative field. Organized by the University of Padua’s Department of Physics within Quantum Frontiers project, the event will take place on December 6th 2024. Participation is free, subject to registration at this link.

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

Francesco Anna MELE (NEST, Scuola Normale Superiore, Istituto Nanoscienze, CNR, Pisa) will give a seminar on Novembre 30th at 3 pm in DEI/A meeting room 201 on how memory effects allow to restore 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.
