Quantum simulators: When nature reveals its natural laws
Quantum simulators are a completely new tool for research: quantum physics is studied by other kinds of quantum physics. Research teams from Innsbruck and Vienna are developing a new method that will allow this new technology to be reliably verified.
How AI helps programming a quantum computer
Researchers from the University of Innsbruck have unveiled a novel method to prepare quantum operations on a given quantum computer, using a machine learning generative model to find the appropriate sequence of quantum gates to execute a quantum operation. The study, recently published in Nature Machine Intelligence, marks a significant step forward in unleashing the full extent of quantum computing.

About us
The Institute for Theoretical Physics is part of the Faculty of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics at the University of Innsbruck. With over 80 employees our institute is one of the largest ones of the University of Innsbruck.
The doctoral college „Atoms, Light and Molecules“ installed in the year 2016 and funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF serves as a training center for highly qualified and motivated academic talents from the national and international scientific community and we are glad to be part of it. This further intensifies the cooperation among scientists within the Special Research Program BeyondC (SFB F71), which connects theoretical and experimental research groups from Innsbruck and Vienna. The consortium aims to develop and exploit new methods and tools to describe, characterize, validate, and manipulate quantum systems in order to achieve the experimental regime of quantum systems for quantum superiority, the ability of quantum computing devices to solve problems that their classical counterparts cannot. The Institute of Theoretical Physics is also part of the Quantum Science Austria (quantA) cluster of excellence, which is further advancing fundamental research in the quantum sciences.
Additionally the technological capabilities have been improved recently by jointly used state-of-the-art facilities.
