Quantum simulators get error bars
Researchers have developed a method for determining the accuracy of quantum simulations. The new method not only reconstructs the dynamics of a quantum system from experimental data, but can also quantify the uncertainty of the predictions derived from it. The verification method was demonstrated in Innsbruck, Austria, on an ion-trap quantum computer with up to 51 qubits.
Not all quantum measurements are created equal
Proving that one quantum measurement is more powerful than another has long been difficult. Physicists from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Lund University, and the University of Innsbruck have now developed and demonstrated a simple technique to certify that a certain class of measurements has properties that cannot be mimicked by simpler means.
Quantum computing without interruptions
Mid-circuit measurements are one of the biggest practical hurdles in quantum error correction on encoded qubits. Researchers in Innsbruck and Aachen have now proposed and experimentally demonstrated that a universal fault-tolerant quantum algorithm can be executed without such measurements.
Debugging a quantum processor
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, together with partners from Sydney and Waterloo, have presented a new diagnostic method for quantum computers. It makes errors in individual quantum bits visible during logical calculation and evaluates them. The new method was demonstrated on an ion trap quantum processor in Innsbruck. It can be used to identify critical error sources —a key to developing more robust, fault-tolerant quantum processors.
Noise-proof quantum sensors
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy conditions. It’s the first experimental realization of a powerful quantum sensing protocol, outperforming all comparable classical strategies—even under overwhelming noise.
Quantum computer works with more than zero and one
For decades computers have been synonymous with binary information – zeros and ones. Now a team at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, realized a quantum computer that breaks out of this paradigm and unlocks additional computational resources, hidden in almost all of today’s quantum devices.
When quantum particles fly like bees
A quantum system consisting of only 51 charged atoms can assume more than two quadrillion different states. Calculating the system's behavior is a piece of cake for a quantum simulator. A research team from the University of Innsbruck and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now shown how these systems can be described using equations from the 18th century.
Quantum sensors: Measuring even more precisely
Two teams of physicists led by Peter Zoller and Thomas Monz have designed the first programmable quantum sensor, and tested it in the laboratory. To do so they applied techniques from quantum information processing to a measurement problem. The innovative method promises quantum sensors whose precision reaches close to the limit set by the laws of nature.
Position measurement of a dipolar scatterer via self-homodyne detection
The study of levitated dipolar scatterers is a growing field of physics that promises to uncover the connection between quantum mechanics and gravity and develop future devices for ultra-precise force sensing. In collaboration with the nanosphere team of the QI group, we investigated a new method based on the manipulation of spontaneous emission to measure the position and motion of these scatterers. In this work, we predict that our method, unlike other state-of-the-art techniques, can reach the Heisenberg limit of detection, in which the position measurement is only bounded by the recoil force of the scattered light.
A way to check that quantum computers return accurate answers
Ion's motion observed via fluorescence light detection
The observation of trapped ions' motion is a cutting-edge method for stringent tests of quantum mechanics and precision measurements of the rest energies of fundamental particles. We have developed a new method based on fluorescence detection to measure this motion. We reveal all the oscillations' frequencies of a trapped ion chain simultaneously by only using the Doppler cooling radiation and the help of a mirror that reflects the ions' fluorescence back on the ions.
Compact quantum computers for server centers
So far, quantum computers have been one-of-a-kind devices that fill entire laboratories. Now, physicists at the University of Innsbruck have built a prototype of an ion trap quantum computer that can be used in industry. It fits into two 19-inch server racks like those found in data centers throughout the world.
Interface between Trapped-Ion Qubits and Traveling Photons
A quantum version of the internet, built of interacting quantum light and matter, would enable powerful new capabilities for science and technology. A key requirement for the quantum internet is the ability to efficiently collect photons that are emitted by and entangled with quantum matter. In our paper (link) published in PRX Quantum, we report on a significant increase in the efficiency of entangled photon collection from a leading example of quantum matter: a single trapped atomic ion. The achieved performance opens up new near-term methods for engineering and studying many-particle quantum states.
Error protected quantum bits entangled
For the first time, physicists from the University of Innsbruck have entangled two quantum bits distributed over several quantum objects and successfully transmitted their quantum properties. This marks an important milestone in the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. The researchers published their report in Nature.
Panopticon: a new ion trap for quantum optics
The new experiment will allow the scientists at the University of Innsbruck to explore new quantum electrodynamics effects by locating a single ion in front of a hemispherical mirror (Scilight article)
New method prevents quantum computers from crashing
Quantum information is fragile, which is why quantum computers must be able to correct errors. But what if whole qubits are lost? Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University and University of Bologna, are now presenting a method in the journal Nature that allows quantum computers to keep going even if they lose some qubits along the way.
Benchmarking scalability and performance of quantum computers
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), Waterloo, Canada have demonstrated a new method to benchmark different quantum computer platforms.
Entanglement sent over 50 km of optical fiber
For the first time, the PhiNet team has sent a light particle entangled with matter over 50 km of optical fiber. This paves the way for the practical use of quantum networks and sets a milestone for a future quantum internet.
Quantum simulation with 20 qubits and integrated self-check
In collaboration with the theory group led by P. Zoller, we have implemented a novel method to simulate, for the first time, particle physics phenomena on up to 20 quantum bits. Furthermore, we demonstrated how the quantum simulator was able to check the quality of the result itself, which represents an important milestone in the field of quantum simulation. The work has now been published in Nature and opens the door to the simulation of previously intractable problems in chemistry, materials research or high-energy physics.
Quantum sensor for photons
A photodetector converts light into an electrical signal, causing the light to be lost. Researchers led by Tracy Northup at the University of Innsbruck have now built a quantum sensor that can measure light particles non-destructively. It can be used to further investigate the quantum properties of light.

Coincidence helps with quantum measurement
In collaboration with researchers in the group of Peter Zoller, and with the IQOQI Innsbruck, researchers in our group have presented and experimentally demonstrated a protocol to determine the purity and entanglement in many-particle systems. The results, published in Science, demonstrate a universal tool for characterising engineered quantum systems in the lab in greater detail than ever before.
Noise improves energy flow
Researchers in our group, the IQOQI Innsbruck and the University of Heidelberg, have demonstrated a quantum effect in which noise helps electronic excitation to propagate through a network of ten qubits. The work has now been published in Physical Review Letters and constitutes controlled study of quantum transport, with importance to fields ranging from condensed-matter physics and material science to quantum chemistry and quantum biology.
Seeing an atom where it is not
Scientists in our group, TU Wien and the ÖAW have for the first time demonstrated a wave effect that can lead to measurement errors in the optical position estimation of objects. The work now published in Nature Physics could have consequences for optical microscopy, but could also play a role in position measurements using sound, radar, or gravitational waves.
Quantum computer simulation of chemical bonds
