[2010-03-17] The research project „Observation of strong coupling between a micromechanical resonator and an optical cavity field“ by Simon Gröblacher, Michael Vanner and Klemens Hammerer has been awarded as innovative research project 2010.
[2010-03-14] In Nature Physics researchers from Innsbruck and Stuttgart propose a new type of universal quantum simulator based on Rydberg atoms stored in optical lattices.
[2010-03-10] A team of physicists headed by Christian Roos and Rainer Blatt from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences realize a quantum walk in a quantum system with up to 23 steps. It is the first time that this quantum process using trapped ions is demonstrated in detail.
[2010-03-01] High degree of control over cold alkaline-earth atoms has been obtained in recent atomic clock experiments. Peter Zoller and colleagues demonstrate that when such atoms are loaded in optical lattices, they can be used as quantum simulators of unique many-body phenomena.
[2010-02-03] Der Experimentalphysiker Rudolf Grimm ist Österreichs Wissenschafter des Jahres 2009. Dies teilte der Klub der Bildungs- und Wissenschaftsjournalisten in Österreich heute mit. Die Auszeichnung wird an Forscherinnen und Forscher verliehen, die ihre Arbeit und ihr Fach einer breiten Öffentlichkeit verständlich machen und damit das Image der österreichischen Forschung heben.
