New impulse for Dutch-Danish quantum research
Danish-Dutch quantum research will get a new impulse. At the official opening of the “Villum Centre of Excellence for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory” (QMATH) in Copenhagen a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by research centers QuSoft and QMATH. The MOU was signed by Harry Buhrman and Kareljan Schoutens (directors of QuSoft) and Jan […]
Quantum entanglement can make communications more efficient
Entanglement – a quantum mechanical correlation between particles that can exist even over long distances – might be used for future ways of communication. Teresa Piovesan of Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and QuSoft in Amsterdam studied whether the transmission of information can be made more efficient using entanglement. Positive examples can be found in […]
New PhD candidate at QuSoft: Joris Kattemölle
Meet Joris Kattemölle who started as a PhD candidate at QuSoft on 1 October 2016. Research at QuSoft Together with Jasper van Wezel (IoP), I work on ‘emergent physics in quantum computation’. Imagine a pen balancing on its tip. The slightest breath of wind can make it fall in any particular direction. Many-qubit systems are prone […]
Cryptographers from the Netherlands win 2016 Internet Defense Prize
Cryptographers Léo Ducas from the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and Peter Schwabe (Radboud University) have won the 2016 Internet Defense Prize. They were awarded the prize with their co-authors Erdem Alkim (Ege University, Turkey) and Thomas Pöppelmann (Infineon Technologies AG, Germany) for their paper ‘Post-Quantum Key Exchange – A New Hope’. The prize was awarded on 10 […]
Junior research positions at QuSoft
QuSoft, the new Dutch research center for quantum software, has awarded two junior research positions. After an internal call, the proposals were evaluated by an expert jury who selected the best two proposals. The first, which will be supervised by Jasper van Wezel, is a PhD position devoted to the analysis of collective qubit dynamics. […]

Delegation of European Conference Industrial Technologies visits QuSoft
On Friday 24 June 2016 QuSoft received a delegation of the European Conference Industrial Technologies 2016 . This biannual gathering was held in Amsterdam and is the largest networking conference in the field of new production technologies, materials, nanotechnology, biotechnology and digitalization in Europe. Part of the program were site visits to Dutch companies and […]
András Gilyén wins second prize in Microsoft Quantum Challenge
András Gilyén has won second prize in the Microsoft Quantum Challenge for his entry ‘Testing quantum state engineering protocols via LIQUi|> simulations”. Gilyén is a researcher in the QuSoft research centre and PhD student in CWI’s Algorithms & Complexity group. In the Microsoft Quantum Challenge, participants were challenged to use Microsoft’s quantum simulator, called LIQUi|>, […]
1 billion euros for Quantum Flagship
The European Commission has proposed to invest one billion euros in a Quantum Flagship, a large-scale European research program for quantum technology. Within the Quantum Flagship, researchers from various fields will further knowledge on quantum mechanics and bring new applications to the market. This proposal is part of the ‘Technology Package’, a large set of […]
All quantum communication involves nonlocality
Researchers of QuSoft, Gdansk University, Gdansk University of Technology, Adam Mickiewicz University and the University of Cambridge have proven that quantum communication is based on nonlocality. They show that whenever quantum communication is more efficient than classical communication, it must be possible to find a nonlocal correlation somewhere. Their paper ‘Quantum communication complexity advantage implies […]
