Quantum clocks in the real world
Modern atomic quantum clocks are the most precise and accurate scientific instruments ever created. Currently, these so-called optical atomic clocks are mostly found in physics laboratories, often filling an entire laboratory. The AQuRA-consortium brings together European universities, industry partners and EU metrology institutes in an effort to make quantum clocks more robust and compact. This […]
QuSoft talks at QIP 2023
The international conference on Quantum Information Processing (QIP) is the premier annual meeting for quantum information research. Since the first meeting in Aarhus (Denmark) in 1998, the conference has featured breakthroughs by leaders in the disciplines of computing, cryptography, information theory, mathematics, and physics. The scientific objective of the series is to gather the theoretical […]
Quantuminformatie is als een droom: je kunt er geen perfecte kopie van maken
Door: Dorine Schenk, Bron: NRC De ‘https’ voor een website-url is een protocol dat zorgt voor een versleutelde verbinding tussen jou en die website, zodat niemand kan meekijken als je je adres invult bij een webshop. Nu is dat veilig. „Maar alles wat beveiligd is met https-techniek kan gebroken worden met een quantumcomputer”, vertelt informaticus […]
