Big Meetup: How will Quantum impact Business and Society?
Coming November 3rd, Quantum.Amsterdam and the Centre for Quantum & Society have jointly organized the next Big Meetup.
Video released: This is the Quantum Software Consortium.
The Quantum Software Consortium is building a new research community in the Netherlands in Quantum Information Science. But what is Quantum Information Science? You perhaps heard of the quantum computer. A computer that fundamentally uses different physics laws than a classical computer does. But like a classical computer, also a quantum computer uses software – […]

Quantum Impact on Societal Security (QISS) opens various new positions
A consortium, led by Dr. De Haro of the University of Amsterdam, received a 1M euro grant to study the social impact that quantum computers will have on cybersecurity and cryptography. The research consortium, named Quantum Impact on Societal Security (QISS), consists of various leading partners, such as QuSoft, Rathenau Institute, De Nederlandsche Bank, ABN-AMRO, and […]
Eternal matter waves, Amsterdam physicists build an atom laser that can stay on forever
Imagining our everyday life without lasers is difficult. We use lasers in printers, CD players, pointers, measuring devices, and so on. What makes lasers so special is that they use coherent waves of light: all the light inside a laser vibrates completely in sync. Meanwhile, quantum mechanics tells us that particles like atoms should also […]
QSC 7th General Assembly June 2022
On Friday June 24, Amsterdam will host the 7th QSC General Assembly, organized by Lisa Kohl (CWI, Amsterdam) and Vedran Dunjko (LIACS, Leiden).
