Johannes Heinsoo wins a prize of the Estonian Academy’s Student Research Paper Contest 2014 for his Master's thesis. We congratulate Johannes for his achievement!

Andreas Wallraff is a new member of the Commission for Low Temperature Research of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW). The commission operates the Walther-Meißner-Institute for Low Temperature Research (WMI), which carries out research projects at low and ultralow temperatures.

The image "Makro meets Nano" by Jonas Mlynek, which was the cover image of the ETH Zürich annual report 2013, is awarded the 3rd prize in the final round of the NanoART 2014 contest. Congratulations!

Johannes Heinsoo's talk at a conference at the "Estonian Academy of Sciences for young researches abroad" is published as video by the Estonian public broadcasting.

Three quantum computing experts have been named to The Future of Computing council of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Andreas Wallraff, as well as Vlatko Vedral of the University of Oxford and Jeremy O'Brien of the University of Bristol have joined the 19 person council.

Andreas Wallraff wins this year’s Max-Rössler Prize in recognition of his outstanding research at the interface of information technology and quantum physics. The award comes with 200,000 Swiss francs as prize money.

Physicists of nine international universities, including the group of Prof. Andreas Wallraff, have established the research network “ScaleQIT” with the aim of advancing the building of a quantum computer, equipped with powerful computer chips from superconductors. The project has been granted 4.5 Million Euros by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme.

Our paper describing the first experimental realization and characterization of non-abelian geometric transformations in a superconducting circuit appeared in Nature online.

Our letter in which we performed and completely characterized Hong-Ou-Mandel interference at microwave frequencies is published online in Nature Physics.

A paper on the realization of a deterministic quantum teleportation protocol realized using superconducting electronic circuits has been puplished in Nature.
