Quantum Interfaces Group
The Quantum Interfaces group is led by Prof. Tracy Northup at the University of Innsbruck's Institute for Experimental Physics. In our labs, we investigate how to transfer quantum states between light and matter, based on the interactions between single atoms, photons, and phonons. These fundamental physics experiments have applications for emerging quantum technologies, and in particular, for future quantum networks.

Quantum internet prototype takes shape in Innsbruck
The University of Innsbruck will link together trapped-ion quantum processors across hundreds of kilometers of optical fiber within a prototype for a future quantum internet. To this end, Innsbruck quantum researchers are receiving a total of €5.4 million from the EU. The project is being carried out by University of Innsbruck and AQT as part of the Quantum Internet Alliance (QIA), a consortium of over 50 European research partners.
Florian receives his PhD!
Congratulations to Florian Goschin on successfully defending his PhD.

Three ERC Starting Grants for Scientists in Innsbruck
Chemist Andrea Auer, physicist Simon Baier, and political scientist Fabian Habersack from the University of Innsbruck each receive an ERC Starting Grant —a generously funded European grant for early-career researchers in the field of fundamental research.
