FAU LMQ Research Spotlight: Entangling light and sound
Quantum entanglement is a prerequisite for a wide variety of emerging quantum technologies, such as secure quantum communications or quantum computing. As photons, i.e. quanta of light, can propagate very fast while carrying quantum information, the generation of entanglement between pairs of photons via nonlinear optics is an established procedure. The groups of Birgit Stiller […]

FAU Physics receives over 900,000 euros in funding for pioneering project
A quantum computer the size of a smartphone – researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) are investigating how this could become reality. Physicist Prof. Dr. Vojislav Krstić, who is also a member of the FAU LMQ, and his team of researchers are focusing on developing quantum bits (Qubits) that work on the basis of topological isolators, […]
