Celebrating World Quantum Day

En français

Today marks the second annual World Quantum Day, a day dedicated to exploring and celebrating quantum. Quantum information science and technology helps us to understand our world on a fundamental level. Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are discovering and building quantum technologies that will revolutionize areas spanning fundamental research, communication and security, healthcare and medicine, computing and technology, and beyond.

Finetuning chemistry by quantum interference

En français

Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of chemistry and are important to our understanding of the world. By cooling atoms and molecules to ultracold temperatures it opens up a new understanding of quantum chemistry. Working with nanokelvin temperatures, one billion times colder than Antarctica during winter, researchers can observe and control particles in ways not possible at room temperature. When really cold, particles behave in strange and exciting ways. Researchers are discovering unexpected results by looking at particles from a quantum perspective.
