John van de Wetering receives the Veni grant
The Dutch Science Council (NWO) has awarded Veni grants of up to 320,000 euro per project to 20 promising UvA and Amsterdam UMC researchers. One of the recipients of the Veni is QuSoft researcher John van de Wetering, who won the grant on his project A diagrammatic toolbox for quantum circuit simulation.
QuSoft Retreat 2024: A Perfect Blend of Work and Relaxation on Texel
From June 4th to 7th, 2024, the QuSoft community gathered for their third annual retreat, a tradition sparked by Harry Buhrman to enhance connection within the group after the isolating COVID-19 period. This year’s event took place in a charming house in De Koog on the island of Texel, continuing the tradition of fostering collaboration […]

Using ions to find molecules: IoP and QuSoft physicists use a single trapped ion to detect ultracold molecules
When we think of ions, we usually think of single atoms that have lost or gained some electrons, but entire molecules can also become ions. In a new publication that was highlighted as an Editor’s Suggestion in Physical Review Letters this week, physicists from the University of Amsterdam, QuSoft and Stony Brook University, show that […]
Kinks, skinks and supersymmetry
Supersymmetry is symmetry of nature that is often hypothesized to exist among elementary particles. In a new paper that appeared in Physical Review Letters this week, physicists from the University of Amsterdam and QuSoft propose a setup where supersymmetry can also be observed between lumps of energy in a material – so-called kinks and skinks. […]
Quantum.Amsterdam and Quantum Delta NL celebrate close collaboration together
On July 14, the new quantum innovation hub Quantum.Amsterdam, established by the University of Amsterdam (UvA), Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and research center QuSoft, and Quantum Delta NL raised the flag together to celebrate their close collaboration for the coming seven years. Together with research institutes, companies and the municipality, the plan is to […]
