The group at Institut d’Optique (Université Paris-Saclay and CNRS) publishes a paper in Physical Review X demonstrating one of the basic building blocks towards the quantum simulation of two-dimensional topological matter. Using resonant dipole-dipole interactions between Rydberg levels, they show, in a minimalistic setup of...
The performance of quantum technologies significantly depends on the duration over which the apparatus can be run. Rydberg-based quantum technologies, in particular, already rely on the particularly long lifetime of Rydberg atoms, in conjunction with the strength of their mutual interactions. They could see their...
Topological materials attract great interest and may provide the basis for a new era in materials development. In Science Advances, physicists around Andreas Elben, Jinlong Yu, Peter Zoller and Benoit Vermersch now present a new measuring method that allows to identify and characterize so-called topological...
For the first time, physicists of Kastler Brossel Laboratory have been able to use light to trap giant atoms, so-called circular Rydberg atoms. This work will push the limits of currently developed quantum technologies that use these atoms of remarkable properties. Rydberg atoms have proved particularly...
Antoine Browaeys from our PASQuanS Partner Institut d´Optique has participated in a television report on quantum computers on the French TV channel “France 3”. The broadcast presents quantum computers as the next major revolution in information technology. It was partly filmed in the laboratories of...
The “Minerva-Gentner Symposium on Quantum Simulations Using Photons, Atoms, and Molecules” was held February 23-27, 2020 in Tze’elim, Israel. It was part of the distinguished series of Minerva-Gentner symposia of the Minerva Foundation, and gathered around 50 leading researchers and students in all aspects of...
On 30th January 2020, the Workshop “Applications of Quantum Simulation” took place at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching. The Executive Committee of PASQuanS had invited a large number of representatives from major industrial companies, among them Bayer, Bosch, Airbus, Siemens, Total,...
A very important outcome of PASQuanS is the exploration of end-users applications. We are already connected to interested companies and are looking for more use cases. We would like to discuss potential business advantages and applications from the developments taking place in the field of quantum...
In September 2019, the PASQuanS 1st Year Meeting took place at the Erwin Schrodinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) in Vienna. 50 researchers from Academia and Industry joined the meeting...
Physicists at the University of Innsbruck are proposing a new model that could demonstrate the supremacy of quantum computers over classical supercomputers in solving optimization problems. In a recent paper, they demonstrate that just a few quantum particles would be sufficient to solve the mathematically...
