We’re Closer to a Quantum Internet

Twenty-five years ago, University of Innsbruck scientists provided the blueprints for a quantum repeater. Now, quantum physicists led by Ben Lanyon from the Department of Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck have succeeded in…

Qudits Fully Entangled

We know that quantum computing isn't based on the 1s and 0s of binary encoding. While quantum computers grew out of the binary system, physical systems that encode their quantum bits (qubits) have the potential also to encode quantum digits…

Quantum Signals Up, Noise Down

There’s some noise in every quantum system that can cause unavoidable errors. They typically use “parametric” amplification to “squeeze” or decrease the noise affecting one variable while increasing the noise that affects its conjugate…
