Quantencomputers go high-dimensional
Together with a team in China a team at TU Wien extends the capabilities of quantum computers: Instead of combinations of 0s and 1s, the new technology uses four different states simultaneously.
A new ’uncertainty relation’ for quantum measurement errors
Researchers at TU Wien and IASBS have shown that the way different quantum measurements influence one another can be captured in a surprisingly simple formula.
World Record: The World’s Smallest QR Code
TU Wien has entered the Guinness Book of Records together with its industry partner Cerabyte - for producing and successfully reading the smallest QR codes ever created.
World Record: Nano Membrane for Future Quantum Metrology
Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to be used in ultra-high-resolution atomic force microscopes in the future.
ERC Grant: Polar Molecules - a New Quantum Technology
A new ERC Proof of Concept Grant now enables the team led by Jörg Schmiedmayer to develop a prototype for an entirely new quantum technology.
New solution to an old magnetism puzzle
How are superconductivity and magnetism connected? A puzzling relation between magnetism and superconductivity in a quantum material has lingered for decades - now a study from TU Wien offers a surprising new explanation.
Quantum Physics: New State of Matter Discovered
At TU Wien, researchers have discovered a state in a quantum material that had previously been considered impossible. The definition of topological states should be generalized.
Reappointment procedure: Transparency, dialogue and responsibility in the Senate
How the Senate fulfills its legal role in the reappointment procedure for the rector.
Dangerous thunderstorms: better models through soil-moisture data
Millions of thunderstorms have now been analysed, providing new insights into the development of extreme weather events. The key lies in the combination of soil moisture and wind.
Discovered by chance: the refractive index microscope
By combining completely different microscopy methods, the optical density of a sample can be measured with pinpoint accuracy.
Discovered by chance: the refractive-index microscope
A remarkable success has been achieved at TU Wien: by combining two fundamentally different microscopy techniques, researchers can now measure the optical properties of a sample with pinpoint accuracy.
Artificial intelligence makes quantum field theories computable
An old puzzle in particle physics has been solved: How can quantum field theories be best formulated on a lattice to optimally simulate them on a computer? The answer comes from AI.
Beyond fixed poles: What networks tell us about polarization
Researchers at TU Wien are developing a model that interprets opinions not as diametrically opposed poles, but as overlapping areas at the group level.
Research data - we care to make it FAIR!
Open, well-documented data is a central component of modern research. The FAIR principles ensure that research data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable.
